Energy bills for May, at prices raised

As you know, Z. The RRE has made the decision to raise the electricity price on February 9th of 2022.

Following this decision by the Energy Regulatory Office (ZRRE), numerous reactions have followed, countering the rise of the electricity price and praising it as too high.

Then, without delay, PDK has indicted Z The RRE at the Pristina Foundation Court, which on April 8, 2022, made the decision to temporarily suspend the decision, until a final decision was made from judicial instances to expensive the electricity price.

In May, on May 18th, even the Court of Appeals confirmed the Constitutional Court's decision in Pristina to postpone the execution of the ZERE, respectively, to suspend new electricity priced fees, saying the foundation decision was the right decision.

After Appeal's decision, Z. The RRE was initially declared to be implementing the court's decision, the Economic Bulletin writes.

However, in the meantime, an institutional silence over developments in the issue over current prices was followed, which became controversial following the decisions of both judicial institutions.

And, from before, yesterday and today, despite ZERE's statement that it will respect the court ruling, the Pristinaers are coming to the May bills at price set up.

In February, <x0ranran in water” The ZERE promises will be implemented judicial institutions' decisions. “They ran into water” and were totally ignored even the promises of Kosovo's opposition, separately the PDK, the party that initiated the justice process against the ZRGE, which without delay, since the day of publication of Apel's decision, at a press conference declared it from now on. “Citizens will pay the current on old tariffs before they grow after the energy crisis”.

The May bills have greatly dimmed and depreciated <x0fitoren”, announced with pomp and a lot of the opposition parties' durability in the case of Apel's decision.

This PDK legal victory, with the support of other opposition parties, to its power and illegal decisions, is not a political victory over power, but a merit victory for citizens' rights in the face of authority of power, when authority is used illegally and at the expense of public interest. This adds our political responsibility, and the Democratic Party of Kosovo, as in this case, will continue to stand on the side of citizens against any illegal and unfair decision of power”, the leader of the government has declared. PDK, Memli Krasniqi.

The latest bills, these Mays, are of higher prices. And, Kosovars who were entrusted with promises, even institutional ones, that the old electricity prices will be returned, and that no “stopped off “in electricity consumption, will face “they enjoy the highly expensive cost of their family budget.
