Crisis in Kosovo deepens: One meter of wood, totals up to 100 euros

Citizens, regardless of the price raised, are forced to buy wood, as according to them, with warnings of lack of electricity, the only option is to heat up wood.

Ghani Fyza, who had come out to buy wood, said that the price of wood per cubic metre is unaffordable, adding that last year for a meter of wood he paid 30 euros.

“I've come to get enough wood for winter, the price is too expensive unaffordable, 70, 75 to 80 euros goes to price. Last year we paid 30 to 35 at the most”

I don't know how we do it, the current is saying screech after, trust problem. Coal is forbidden except with wood”, Fyza said.

Ramadan Cameri, told Online Economy that the next form of heating is not due to the price of electricity being forced to buy wood.

And we haven't bought, but the price has gone up a lot since last year, but there's also a lack of wood, because there's only Gollaku with mountains, and the mountains are too much to buy this year, but they've grown very, very much 70 to 80 euros”.

This price is not affordable, but with the situation in Kosovo now we are doing what we have to deal with. Another form of heat we don't have, that the expensive current needs to have another way out of this”, Cameri said.

Bedri Ismaili said prices are going from 80 to 100 euros per metre of wood, adding that this price is unaffordable, envisions that it is unemployed.

The 80 to 100 euros is going a meter of wood, we don't have to pick up a manpower, without a job demanding removal, prices are raised as in wood as a whole, we have no other heating option, we don't have anything but wood with brocox1>.

We can't afford it because we don't have conditions without work, we're on the street all day. Last year it was cheaper than 65 euros, 55 euros and 40 euros”, Ismaili said.
