We had our electricity, its price went up, and it was subsidised by the government: Murati Faces Investment Commission for Energy

Finance Minister Iron Murati faces numerous questions from opposition members of the Commission.

Here's a piece of the debate between him and Abelard Tahiri:  

Abelard Tahiri: During the period that has raised electricity tariffs, Kosovo has not been affected by the energy crisis. From the data we received from the signal, our consumption at the time is covered by internal production.

We as opposition have considered that raising the price has been unreasonable and subsidising energy has also been unreasonable.

How many of these tools that are released to the Ministry of Economy have been paid for January, February, March and April?

So what is the debt that Kosovo owes KESC

Iron Murati: As far as months and pay are concerned, you can look for the data that I don't have once because I don't cover it as a field.

As the finance minister, the key role is to ensure the financing of government decisions and priorities. As far as shape is concerned, mechanisms belong to relevant acts that cover certain areas of action.

Abelard Tahiri: We know the reason for the establishment of this Commission, which is sharing tools for subvention of energy, is to raise the price of electricity at the time there was an import.

We're saying that in February the import was 2.47%, in March it was 0.56, in April 0.87%, this is the period when we investigate, we're interested in days as far as the price is concerned, it is responsible. Z THRE, but as finance minister, I believe that each payment has a clear description of what is being done, at the time you're asked, it's been defined methodology, then you've said that you've been willing to give an answer to that, now I'm interested in the payments being issued, by what description, by what reason they're made of. The costs in Kosovo are covered by our thermocentrics,

Iron  Murati: I'm trying to explain in principle, assuming that you have the right numbers, you should be aware of the price difference and how this impacts, if the import price is 10%, this 2.47 translates into 24.7 percent of the total value. /Periscope
