Muhamet Mustafa: There is no reason for the dinar issue to be included in talks

The implementation of the BEC regulation, to use only euros in Kosovo as currency in the financial system, has not had to be politicised. So says economics expert Muhamet Mustafa.

According to him, there is no reason for this topic to be included in talks between Kosovo and Serbia, as there are practices of turning a currency into another currency, and this is simply technical issues.

Adjusting the CEC, which is beginning to apply this week, has sparked numerous reactions. For economics professor Muhamet Mustafa, the extension of the implementation of the monetary and payment system in Kosovo, where the euro is official currency, has tolerated operating parallel structures, respectively.

The requirement for a solution that does not harm people receiving payment in dinars from Serbia, but must be converted into euros and access the monetary system and the market buying goods is necessary, and the BEC's stance on having a transition period is valid. And I don't see”, Mustafa tells RTK-Radio.

According to Mustafa, this issue has not had to be politicised because the euro is currency and a community, with Kosovo and Serbia aiming to join. Meanwhile, the euro is stable currency, which Serb residents themselves will benefit from.

I don't know what consequences there can be. The dieters who come here legally to banks are converted into euros. Having the euro instead of dinars, even the Serb population are more likely to make elections”, Mustafa says.

The international Community's requirements for this to become a question of dialogue, Mustafa calls it completely unnecessary, as it is the world's practices of turning a currency into another currency.

I am that the process of turning dinars from Serbia to euro, making it easier, making it more friendly, not having trouble with people, our citizens of Serbian nationality, but I don't see why it should be politicised so much and I don't see any need even the issues that should take time in the Brussels” talks, Mustafa points out.

As for the start of paying the electricity spent by residents of the Serb community in the north, this has been tolerated without need, as nowhere in the world has free services, Mustafa has said.
