MP from PDK ranks Bekim Haxhiu said about 40 per cent of the drugs have remained out of the list, adding that there are price hikes per 50 per cent.
“We've analyzed the pricing list and we've been disappointed because it's following price reductions and risings, 50 percent and 300 percent growth for some products. The AKPM announced to you the majority and minority trade margin, if you go to the pharmacy there is no aspirin with 2 euro”, Haxhiu said.
The MP from LDK ranks, Armend Zemaj, asked Health Minister Arben Vitita to be called into question.
We should call the minister on this matter, there are three four elements showing inept, neglect after a year. This issue should not be passed quietly should be taken responsibility”, Zemaj said.
Virtue Krasniqi, by the AKPPM, said the law is in progress from now on.
This law has been required for 20 years and takes time for implementation, is in the period of complaints. The decision cancelled by the minister has occurred in the fact that the provisions are not addressed under law”, she said.
“The Commission has verified the prices that are declared with trust; this list is dynamic; each list should be re-generated every month we have then all the time. I have no legal basis for referring to products on the market, only to import”, Krasniqi said.
Kadri Bytyqi from the Kosovo Pharmacists' Oda brought the issue to question that a member of the Oda of the Pharmacists has been dismissed by not being informed.
Krasniqi from the AKPPM, said the dismissal has been made because the member in question has been destructive.
The next “has held meetings has issued words but has never filed a complaint about non transparency. There is no hiding everyone after the dilemma, it is only aimed at prolonging the” process, Krasniqi said.
