Opinionist Agon Maliqi has written about the history of refusing energy resources, as power reductions in Kosovo were warned yesterday.
He says construction of thermal power plants by American and German investors have been rejected in Kosovo. The reasons for not building new thermal power plants, according to Maliqi, were unstable.
Maliqi also mentions refusing the US pipeline construction project.
Coal projects today no longer finances who, meanwhile, Kosovo rejects them with gas, always noble in anticipation of transition to green resources, leaving itself to the mercy of fate and energy businessmen in the middle period of”, he wrote.

Somewhere around the first years of independence, Kosovo had golden opportunities to build new coal power plants from serious US or German investors. The project failed after successfully sabotaged by the regional energy trade mafia and by Russia interested in boosting the region's dependence on gas. However, with the help of the government's inability at that time and many people in Kosovo, most (but not all) with good intentions.
The arguments being heard in Kosovo in opposition to the project? Kosovo should have priority over alternative energy sources, which at the time (for difference from today) were not economically reasonable. It even said it would hinder our EU integration. It also talked about air quality, although new thermal power plants with time technologies would pollute more than old dinosaurs. He talked about the callous capitalism he wanted to steal from us. So the thermal power plants were <x0th) the great evil. ”
The result? The year 2022, Kosovo continues to be dependent on dinosaurs of communism who can barely stand, with overexploitated air; dependent on imports and on reductions in mid-August; not integrated into the EU for entirely other reasons. While the EU itself is not coping with the green transition under war circumstances without turning to coal. Coal projects today no longer finances who, meanwhile, Kosovo rejects them with gas, always noble in anticipation of transition to green resources, leaving itself to the mercy of fate and energy businessmen in the middle period.
Who comes to a country with energy reductions at the point of summer, and where the prime minister warns war opportunities? The number of 20,000 people gone away last year towards the EU seems to me sincerely small.
However, we should feel proud of our watchfulness, foresight, and principles, which forbade malicious projects. If foolishness and inflexibility were a source of energy, we today supplied the entire Europe.
