The affordable prices: Pristina municipality empty about 10 jobs

Jobs that were contracted last year at market prices that year are at risk of all being suspended. In fact, you had your contracts cut due to high oil prices and construction materials.

Inflation is experiencing the Pristina municipality, which so far has been emptied of workshops by companies in about ten Sosh.

Krenar Xhaferi, director of capital investments and contract management in Pristina, has spoken for Periscope about this big problem. He has said the government has done nothing in this direction, at least to subsidise contracts and then companies have been forced to leave.

There are about 10 contracts that have been cut. Companies have been unable to afford this price hikes. Government subsidies have not arrived, and they have had to go to the end of the contract. We'll be forced to get the same new tenders, so to enter the procurement procedure from zero. Normally, prices will now be based on these markets, but because there have been works on those projects, they will be reduced to tendering. So the project will be for as long as it has not been performed”, says director Xhaferi.

He says a similar situation is in all of Kosovo.

We've already prepared them for tenderation. The crisis has come from March, and most contracts have not been launched since. This has not happened only to us, but this is state-level. The idea is that people are expecting a subject of the contract to walk away from”, he said further.

Periscopi has seen the last two contracts that have been cut between the Pristina municipality and economic operators. It's the <x0->Reconstruction and construction contract on Malush Kosova streets, Ilir Konushevci, Ahmet Krasniqi, Gjergj Balsa and Tony Blair, Bzezen Haradinaj II, Ajeti Bridge, Aziz Abrashi” This tender has been divided into 7 parts. So seven contracts have been entered.

For tears 7, “Building Aziz Abrashi”, was contracted to company “Excavator” worth 199 590,63. For tears 6 “Construction of the Ajeti Bridge” has been contracted on “NO T-BETON” S.P.K. worth 206 724,93 euros. Consequently, the contract has been cut off for both parts of this tender. The argument has been for prices raised.

Prices are at an even higher rate due to the crisis in markets that war has caused in Ukraine. If the quality of citizens' lives is affected, they don't have a good job either.

There are about 700m euros which public institutions spend through public procurement procedures, linking contracts, such as for services, jobs and supplies with businesses in Kosovo.

Periscop learns that businesses that have contracted contracts in the past year with public institutions have bombed the state with demands for their revision due to price hikes.

According to the Public Procure Law, the price cannot be changed after the contract is established. That is why contracts are being signed with two parties, according to the LPP known as the friendly “agreement.

The contracts signed between public institutions and companies are one year old and three years old. There are already hundreds of implementation contracts signed last year, or two years ago. /Periscopi/
