“The political blockade cost Kosovo billions of euros in budget failure could lead the country to bankruptcy”

The chairman of the Kosovo Alliance of Business (AKB), Agim Sahini, says that since the first day it has been known that the government does not have enough votes. Sahin in an interview, says the country's government, which puts personal and political interest before [...] interest, is to this guilty political blockade.
Sahin in an interview, says the country's government, which has put personal and political interests ahead of Kosovo's interest, is to this guilty political blockade.
The government does not have votes since the first day, because it is the blockade the government is to blame, but that the next blockade will come again is to blame for the leaders of the Kosovo government who have given personal and political interest before the interest of Kosovo”, he said.
Among other things, he says that forming government would affect the country's financial economy.
Sahin shows that the losses facing Kosovo are very dimensional both in economic and diplomatic terms, where he adds that these huge losses are damage to the image of the state and our future.
“The impact on the country's financial economy, two years under sanctions, and a year without investment, whether public or foreign, and the opportunity to absorb capital from various global banks, we have lost and losses are about 2 billion euros, which the loss is also billed by economic sanctions, the unwillingness of different investors and banks to support business initiatives in Kosovo and state institutions, non-recognition of various international agreements that have financial impacts, and all that has caused Kosovo to finally be excluded even from strategic dialogue with the US, and we are in a bloc with eastern states.
“Loss we have a lot of dimensional, economic, diplomatic, because no new state knows us, Kosovo cannot be integrated into any international mechanism, we have the dialogue between international factors and Kosovo, and that is a huge impact, great loss and this is damage to the image of our state and our future”, he said.
Sahin says all these consecutive blockades send Kosovo towards bankruptcy, adding that the country is now entering a new blocking phase.
All these successive blockades lead to bankruptcy of the state, because if we don't have the budget approved for next year, we have the right to spend up to February in a limited manner, but with the disapproval of the Parliament in March if it had been the Constitent Convention would then be able to continue spending for another month. But according to what we're looking at here seems to be no unblocking, but we're just entering the new blockage phase, and the new blockage is bringing another serious economic year 2026, which we're going to face economic contractions, with the departure of our young people, increasing poverty in Kosovo”, he stressed.
Among other things, he adds that in February, the country risks any payment from the fund and the Kosovo government being blocked.
Finally, Sahin points out that in this situation we are in danger of business bankruptcy but also of the state without budget.
Kosovo risks being left in February, because there is a law on public finances that deals with one by one because the law's entitler thought there would be blockades, but he didn't think it could be the actual blockade we have. If that day comes, then any payment from the fund and the Kosovo government is blocked. There will be no salaries, no opportunities to pay expenses, all public administration people will work without salaries, expenses will carry personal and the ratio of entrepreneurs and capital investments that are under way will be blocked and businesses not paying them can send some working with public institutions in bankruptcy, so here is the risk of bankruptcy of businesses, but also of the state without a budget, he concludes for the Blic newspaper.
