Continued price hikes on essential products have weighed down the lives of citizens.

And compared to life's low wages and pensions, many are higher prices, and that's going to trend, and it's just growing. Life is very expensive.

ball's up, too much. Stairs have enough, pretend they have enough, but what to do with it, another citizen said.

Organization representative The contractor says that in the Kosovo market, a constant tendency for price manipulation by businessmen is seen.

I wouldn't mention we only have a price hike under the holidays, we have a thin trade, that we've been able to have all 365 days, called shares, called white Fridays, black, yellow. Of all the government legislatures, we've received answers that the market is and it's a price regulator... until this table continues, I'll always say that we unfortunately don't have free markets, we don't have local markets, we don't have regulations called markets, so we don't have the market that's price regulators... we're guilty of price problems, because we don't allow the regulator that's called the market, Kachachanic said.

The chairman of the Kosovo Economic Ode, Lulzim Rafuna, says that the increase in prices in the market is the result of the high price of import of goods.

In some cases, our importers are also dependent on the goods they're buying out or the raw materials or half of the product, where inflation has made it their own, they buy it at the most expensive price, so they're going to have to sell it even more expensive, but we don't have after any complaint that has a unreasonable increase, Rafuna said.

According to Kosovo's statistics agency, compared to November last year, prices have risen by 2.9 %.
