It has been more than a month when the European Union imposed punitive measures on Kosovo as a result of the situation in the north. These measures are also affecting the country's economic development.

The chairman of the Kosovo Chamber of Economics (OEK), Lulzim Rafuna, says this situation is affecting foreign investors who are interested in investing in Kosovo.

Even from the International Monetary Fund (FMN) have declared days ago that if EU measures remain in force long enough, they will be an obstacle to the country's economic development.

Rafuna, has told of sectors that are taking the most of these measures, has also talked about economic trends in the country and the demand for businesses to regrow prices after the price of derivatives is expensive.

Rafuna called on the European Union to abolish these measures quickly.

According to him, one of the economic areas affected by these measures is the private, IT sector.

The OEK chairman has stressed that the consequences will be great for Kosovo if these measures still stand in power by the European Union.

In addition, Rafuna stressed that businesses in the country are “tested” for capital and public investments.

The chairman of the Kosovo Economic Ode, Rafuna, also talked about economic trends in the country, which stressed that forecasts for economic growth this year are 3.5 to 3.7 per cent.

Rafuna shows that rising derivative prices have caused uncertainty in businesses and the demand for price increases in their products.
