Businesses complain government is co-operating enough with them, Rukiqi: They must accept the crisis

The chairman of the Kosovo Economic Ode, Berat Rukiqi, has stated that he worries the neglect of Kosovo institutions to deal more seriously with the crisis that has affected the entire globe, including our country. And until he talked about inflation, he asked what if he went to stagnation. (the situation in which the inflation rate is high, the growth rate slows down and could exacerbate unemployment).

Rukiqi at the end of his mandate has spoken about the challenges businesses are facing, co-operation with institutions, the issue of oil prices and agreements between Kosovo and Albania.

Asked about the current situation in which the country is undergoing rising inflation, which is currently 11.2 per cent, Rukiqi has said the current government is not acknowledging that the country is in poor economic condition.

According to him, governments of other countries and businesses have sat down together to discuss the problems of the latter, but this has not happened in our country, which can create irreversible damage.

“Our needs are a little bit of concern about the neglect of institutions with more serious treatment of this crisis, addressing that there is a crisis first to admit that there is a crisis, there is little government hesitation with addressing this as a crisis, and, I think that this is the nature of the problem, then the specifics of the problem, or how to deal with a crisis, there are many mechanisms in the first place, there would be a mechanism between the private sector and the government to discuss on the regular basis what is happening, and that is becoming practical in all countries, companies, sit down important market actions, relax associations, and businesses, and discuss how do you know of a situation that can now create damage to the situation that is now, and what is going on track in the next, and if Kosovo is going to be stable, and then, and then Kosovo is going to be a matter of some other countries.

About the increase in the price of oil, Rukiqi has claimed the blame is not businesses, as the government is saying, but, according to him, the price-growing import is guilty.

I think that the Government should accept as a crisis, not as a crisis that has caused this government or that, as a crisis of circumstances of external factors, but if it's not treated as a crisis, then it's a problem to take adequate measures and often in such situations it is tempted to say it was blamed elsewhere, for example, as in the case of oil, behavior is as if merchants have no other nature. It's not a business problem, it's an import problem, import is expensive, much more expensive now, at the same time, to us what charges import for us. , T The VV, or the part that charges the price of excise oil, are not on the table of discussion, so part that is the government's responsibility is not at the table of discussion, as if it's being tempted to talk about the benefits of businessmen, but at the same time is not this nature of the problem, the nature of the problem is that we have a global crisis. Other countries have acted with fiscal instruments to ease the burden not for businessmen, but for citizen” Rukiqi has said

This year, unlike other countries, Serbia is leading with the highest import in our country. According to Berat Rukiqi, institutions should do more work to increase local impacts by looking at which products we need.

“We will especially need with Serbia, but with other countries, without the possibility of where we can replace imports with our products, some products are simply irreplaceable, maybe there is a lack of local impacts to produce them, I think there is room to work and, to reduce the trade deficit with Serbia, but also with other countries.

And as for co-operation Government-economic and business, according to Rupudi, Prime Minister Kurti appears to be more closed to see closely the problems the country's businesses are going through, but also organisations.

“Ende is a year since they've received the mandate, but of course, there's a slowdown, or better say there's a drop in the intensity of the co-operation between business and public institutions in this mandate, I hope that this will improve like any government that comes first has little of its own head-hardiness, but I hope that by the time it can improve, I will give my thoughts to a different conclusion and I will actually talk about what needs to be done and what has not been done by this government, like this, and other governments of the 488ohk.

He has also commented on agreements signed days ago between Kosovo and Albania.

This time I had cut off the railway agreement, I'm thinking about feasibility, because we have to look at the feasibility study with me, is there economic reasonableness, this project and what was released. a new development in transportation and logistics. There are two important sectors for any economic development and linked to the Albanian seaport and the Dry Port or what is being recognised as a port as the Porto Roman annex in Kosovo” has said Rukiqi

After fourteen years in different positions at the Kosovo Economic Ode Berat Rukiqi has shown his experiences over the years. He for Kosova Prees says changing governments and the situation with pandemics have been the most extraordinary moments for him.

The “has been extraordinary for yet another reason because the country has moved into nonpolitical stability when I arrived, found a government, then had elections, came another government. Government Kurti 1, then there was a Government, after the government led by Mr. Kurti, and finally again elections another government or prime minister who has been but with another government co-ordination. In this job of ours to lead a business organization, regular communication with the public or public institutions is required, in this case primarily with the government, this is one of the main challenges for the reason that there are frequent changes, we are assuming that we start a good fiscal reform with a minister, then if the reform doesn't end with the next”, he said.

He has also talked about elections that will be held for the first of the Economic Ode.

There has to be someone who knows the nature of business organizations, someone who can balance between different interests, because there are interest groups and needs to be balanced, you can't take sides, you don't always achieve the perfect balance, but at least by ensuring a high rate of balance of interests, you should be focused on creating reports with the country's institutions, as likely, from this side, but there's no will from the other side, but you need to have a maximum effort, you have to have a team named Rukikiki.

Rukiqi at the end of the interview for Kosova Prees, has indicated that there are still two weeks left to select delegates, where even the candidates for chairman of the Economic Ode will be announced.
