Drift for rising electricity prices: They're playing with the feelings of citizens, they're violating the standard of life.

Former director of the Kosovo Economics Oda (OEK), Safet Gerjaliu, has called it paradoxically the rise of the electricity price. According to him, it is unclear how there is reductions in inflation, price reductions in Europe and in Kosovo, despite more crisis facing, even raising the price of electricity. “It's [...]
According to him, it is unclear how there is reductions in inflation, price reductions in Europe and in Kosovo, despite more crisis facing, even raising the price of electricity.
It's paradoxical that as long as we've stabilised inflation, as we Europe have reduced prices of strategic products. In Kosovo, we have a situation where, at the same time, despite high inflation, even against salaries in the private sector despite a silent economic crisis that has engulfed Kosovo, we have increased the price of strategic products -- in particular, electricity -- the question arises how it is possible to have this electricity price increase when we import, prices have dropped to the international bell”, he said.
Gerxhaliu He added he is playing with citizens' feelings and the standard of living is being violated.
The second “how it is possible for 700 to 840 megawatts of electricity to be produced in Kosovo, the cost of production is 31 euros and means a megava of electricity to be sold for 29 and 40. And the third thing that's possible when we have temperatures going down, where the need for electricity is smaller to have this upgrade, and the biggest paradox is that the reason to raise the price of electricity is to rehabilitate production capacities”.
I believe it's experimenting with the feelings of citizens, I believe the standard of living is being violated, and in this direction I believe there should be greater commitment of the acts of acts to think of state and citizens, and not just for power and for strengthening the political position”, he said.
He said how the consequence of raising these prices would be direct shocks in even the economy, particularly in the production sector and services.
“The effects of this price or of this increase will be multiple, should not be analysed solely in social terms or in terms of citizens' standard. There must be direct shocks in even the economy, particularly in the production sector and at least” services.
And I believe that it is an experiment that will have a very expensive cost for Kosovo and the Kosovo economy, and that we are faced with many challenges and I believe such a price hike is a key indicator, but it divides the economic aspect in Kosovo, detox and demoralizes the citizen of Kosovo, and in this direction it should not be surprised that flight is an option that is choosing not only poor, but other families who have a higher and better standard to live in Kosovo<1> he said.
