Lekaj warns protests if the current is expensive

The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo has held a media conference on ZERE warnings of expensive electricity for 14% since 1 April.

This party's MP, Paul Lekaj, said the rise in the electricity price is shocking news for all Kosovo citizens and businesses.

The scope of the conference call is to warn and try the government to increase the price of electricity. This is a friend of news for all citizens of Kosovo, businesses and companies of the country, and for all of us as political spectator”, he said.

There are several reasons why we think this should not happen. The first, taking into account subsidies allocated by the government last year to ease the impact of energy price growth, does not seem reasonable to have second price risks and much less to happen to have growth worth 14%. We've even been waiting for a discount or a return to the price of old tariffs, not a second increase of”.

The second “, the Kurti Government last year subsidised businesses, while family consumers, regardless of subsidies, increase rates for more than 100%. So, they had most of the citizens, because the solutions were not adequate”.

The third “, KEK, is in stable condition, where it has exported millions of euros of energy, and if this energy exported from KEK is not decoupled in the best of citizens, which is the reason for the increase in energy price”, he said.

He has also warned protests if the electricity is expensive.

The country's “citizens are tired of the expensiveness of each article and living has become difficult, where a family can't even provide a family basket. Just thinking about another increase in energy prices is not normal or reasonable. If this growth occurs, it puts the citizen in extreme poverty and war for survival. We'll talk to the citizens and there'll be protests. If this growth occurs, then deliberately it is promoting and stimulating even more the flight of citizens from the country”, he said.
