Economic Ode Chairman Lulzim Rafuna criticises institutions for failing to get help from citizens.

Now let's be real in private institutions in some countries that we have access to pay raises, but they haven't moved at all, and we have institutions doing nothing in this direction now and four years behind the pandemic and we're here where I think it's not too late but too late, Rafuna said.
