Bislim even disclosed that in the first five months of this year, only 15m euros are in excess of rising oil prices.

“is proposed to remove excise and T The VSH in oil import as a move to solve problems because the government has been enriched by the rising price of oil on the international market. In the first five months of 2022, the government has collected exactly 15m euros more from imports of oil derivatives. Meanwhile, he has returned citizens to compensate for the damages of just 100m euros for the measure. So the government hasn't been enriched. The government has received an additional 15m euros from the increase in oil prices, meanwhile, citizens to meet the additional cost has given 100m euros or 7 times the amount the government has collected additional. It's without maturity, it's ignorance and it's charlatanism, saying the government should take measures that it has received an additional 15m euros”, Bisilim stressed.

By now running out of gym economists who say they have Western diplomas and ask for excises removed, you can encourage citizens to consume as much oil as possible from the Middle East, it is not just a lack of knowledge. We all know it's irrational, but it's a kind of open trend to damage the country's basic interests and make the state dysfunctional”, he stressed.
While on the Kosovo market, fuel prices have been expensive record, 1.86 euros to 1.90 euros per litre. /kp/
