Zeka: Kosovo wage growth correspond to price hikes

Arrian Zeka, executive director of the American Economic Ode, said the government of Kosovo must prepare for the winter season in terms of electricity supply. We in Kosovo depend on everything from electricity.

He has also spoken of Kosovo's failure to build new thermal power plants, as is the “New Kosovo”. According to him, there is no real dialogue between the actsoners in Kosovo, the business government-community. This dialogue is at the lowest level”, he said today on the morning show “Kosovo”, at Radio Television in Kosovo (RTK).

Zeka estimated that Kosovo is late on the pay raise issue. The salary hike would reflect with that of price hikes”, he said.

Even the Kosovo government's warning, for subsidising electricity, according to Zeka, is not the right one. The first of the American Chamber of Economics has requested urgent measures from the government, because even the departure of workers regularly will become a problem.

Arian Zeka, executive director of the American Economic Ode, has also talked about the possibility of building the new thermal power plant in the country because of the resources Kosovo has.

We have been able to build two highways, so there are no major investments in the public sector. We now have reduction or restrictions on economic activities, so we are talking about blocking economic potential”, Zeka said.

For providing aid from the Kosovo government, he praised that it is not a good measure. According to him, it would be better to raise salaries in the public sector.
