Raise prices in Kosovo, Kurti only deepens silence

It is not only the Kosovo Assembly for which the solution is currently not being reached, but there are other important issues on citizens' lives for which incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti has chosen silence.

The LVV coalition, Guxo and Alternatives do not have enough votes for the election of Albulen Hadziu at the helm of the Parliament after the February 9th elections, and in the 13 so-called attempts have failed to convince other parties to give the necessary votes.

While the solution to the political stalemate does not end nearly two months after the certificate of results, Albin Kurti with his winning party has chosen silence as the best “ ”.

His party, along with Guxo and Donika Grovalla and Mimoza Kusari's alternative, insist on electing former Justice Minister Albulen Haxhiu in the form of secret voting in hopes will get votes. And while this is being refused by the PDK, the LDK, AAK's NISMA, the latter, has warned of sending out a secret voting way for interpretation in Constitutional on Monday.

As the political deadlock continues, citizens and businesses from May are facing price hikes as a result of the expensive electricity from the 16 percent Energy Regulatory Office, despite calls that would not happen, and as a reminder, four northern municipalities were excluded from the rise of electricity rates.

The heavy consumer basket and local business trouble seems to have remained “outside Albin Kurti's <x1nd> radar, which has not said a single word thus continuing the endless silence.

As prices rise, which are lowering the standard of living, incumbent Finance Minister Iron Murati has boasted only on forecasts for Kosovo economic growth this year according to international financial institutions.

Kosovo days earlier, he had reported that the price - raising rate for sixteen percent has affected certain essential products, including bread and coffee products as much as 50 percent.

Kosovo's Economic Oda has called for the suspension of the decision to increase the price of electricity and postpone businesses' exit of over 50 employees for at least a year. When it comes to the free electricity market, according to OEK, businesses have received the first offers of over two hundred percent higher.

This simultaneously endangers the bankruptcy of hundreds of businesses with over 50 workers as a result.

The Democratic League of Kosovo on Monday will hand over to the Energy Regulatory Office the signature request from Kosovo's Parliament deputies for the annulment of the expensive electricity decision and the annulment of the next decision to impose 1,300 companies on the open market. /Periscope/
