Scandalous: Locking with Albania, millions more euros, how the policies of Government and COST isolated Kosovo

Kosovo, through COSTT creating “A EPEX” with Albania has been blocked in energy, causing major economic consequences for itself. These policies have not only isolated the country in the energy field but also burdened consumers with financial status, Paparac reports.

The 2000 anxiety has returned to the Kosovo people, though on the calendar marks the end of 2024. Electricity reductions have increased markedly recently as a result of successive failures in the electricity sector.

KEDS has announced that reductions will continue in the coming days, citing citizens for high energy consumption, and citing it. KEK for lack of electricity.

Power mafia has once again left the people on earth worrying only about getting rich in their pockets.

Launched as a project of hope and transformation into the electricity sector, Prime Minister Albin Kurti in March of this year, full of excitement had announced the unification of electricity markets between Kosovo and Albania, “A PCX”

This functionality is marking a co-operation that plays a role in economic development and transparency in the energy sector and transforming in the energy sector in line with our national energy strategy”, Kurti had said at the inauguration of this co-operation.

Unfortunately, with the creation of ALPEX, where the founders are the Koo. STT from Kosovo and OST from Albania, the two interconition lines -- 400 kV and 220 kV -- respectively, have been made completely available to ALPEX.

Thus, the policies of COST and Government have isolated Kosovo in an energy way.

As a result of this co-operation, Kosovo has lost access to international markets through Albania.

Kosovo has lost co-operation with the Italian, Greek and Macedonian market.

With the creation of “A No kilowatts can pass off this bell. And because Kosovo and Albania are importing electricity countries, the amount exchanged between the two countries is very low.

Kosovo's connection to the international market can only be realised through Montenegro or Macedonia.

Due to “unlocking” internationally, Kosovo is forced to pay millions more euros for import of electricity.

Only for electricity transport through Macedonia and Montenegro do Kosovo pay up to 400 euros for MW, and if continued with this system, the price of imminent electricity will increase.

So when the price on the bell was 300 euros/ MW, Kosovo has subsequently paid up to 700 euros for MW.

According to recent tax projections and costs could reach as much as 30m euros this year, from 2 million to 3 million in the past.

With COSTT's admission to NTSO, Serbia had blocked the transmission lines with Kosovo.

So of the 6 lines to the world that there were total Kosovo until the rule with Albin Kurti, there are only 2 left.

The criticisms are directed at COSTT and the Government of Kosovo, which have not taken steps to unblock transmission lines with Serbia through NTSO, but instead have contributed to blocking lines with Albania.

This situation has created room for major profits from private businessmen, who only this year and next year are projected to benefit up to 70m euros at the expense of Kosovo citizens.
