Bank Governor for the dinar: The BQC position is political, we set rules and they have to be implemented

Kosovo Central Bank Governor Ahmet Ismaili said the BEC's decision, which excludes the dinar as currency for conducting transactions in Kosovo, cannot be postponed and such decisions should be implemented.

He has declared that the position of the institution he leads is not political and that the rules that are set must be implemented. Ismaili also mentioned the Serbian bank that is close to closing, “Komercijalna Banka”, which he said was used for transport of these vehicles.

Ismail denied sayings that the dinar had been forbidden for a long time.

The BQ's “position is not political. We set rules and they have to be implemented. If law enforcement takes a reasonable time, it's a matter for us that these are adjusted. Even until yesterday, that there are all kinds of statements that say it has been arranged, by the end of January, transport tools in Kosovo can enter with cash and how to put it in Kosovo to send it wherever it wants. Unfortunately, even the Bank, which has been licensed to Komercijalna Banka, which is now in the process of closure, has been used as a reason for transport, but actually according to the data it has declared in the CEC, does not match the volume of the transaction it has declared. That BQK has failed to effectively view even its operating bank at the time, he said.

Asked whether this decision would be postponed, he said the same could have a transition, until he added that Serbian citizens are welcome to join the Kosovo financial system.

And if you're trying to push it, which is to push it, you can make it say that a car can enter from tomorrow incorrigibly, unlicensed, who can take this responsibility, is somebody from the CQ to cut it. This may have a time of transition and we are not individually dealing with Serbian citizens. They are welcome to join the Kosovo financial system”, Ismaili said. /EO/
