(a year ago)Acting Finance Minister Hekuran Murati has warned that Kosovo risks losing a 90m-euro financing from the World Bank, which has been sealed since May last year, but has not yet been ratified by the Assembly due to political disputes, reports. Ferat Shala, says Kosovo during this government [...]
Ferat Shala, says Kosovo during this government has lost 1 billion euros by importing energy.
Shala shows that during this LVV government mandate, Kosovo has lost about 300 billion euros in different EU funds due to sanctions Kosovo has.
Among other things, he stresses that this governing mandate has cost Kosovo about 1.7 billion euros in economic damage.
It is true that Kosovo has lost much and is continuing to lose much with a government that Minister Murati and Albin Kurti have had during this governing mandate. Kosovo is not only risking 90 million but losing 1 billion euros during this government in energy imports -- that is, 1 billion euros -- Kosovo has driven them out of the country by importing energy, so the energy package has cost the country a government mandate of 1 billion euros.
Kosovo in this governing mandate has lost 230m euros in separate EMSS funding for gas, which has never been realised and we already have the failed project of the alleged batteries of this government. Kosovo has lost about 300 billion euros in various EU funds due to sanctions Kosovo is. So this governing mandate has cost the country 1.7 billion to 1.8 billion euros, economic damage, classical and measurable, and without counting here the damage to the rest of the trade deficit, without counting the damage to inflation, without counting the low scale as never before the realisation of capital investments, and many other projects already unconfirmed”, he told Blic newspaper.
MP Shala says the main culprits that Kosovo is in sanctions are state institutions that have been leading for six years now, where she adds that she cannot blame the opposition because of her underageableness and wrong policies.
“We need to have it clear that Kosovo is under de facto and de-dejuric sanctions of the EU, and the main blame is the state institutions that have led and managed now 6 years with the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, you cannot blame the opposition because of the basic managerial inefficiency and the completely wrong policies inside and outside the country”, he said.
Among other things, he says Kosovo is losing a budget of 3.5 billion euros this year, and is losing image as a priority development and investment country.
“We have five years of practically budget governance, Kosovo is losing a budget of 3.5 billion euros this year, we are now at the end of the 6th month, we have no budget review, no budget spending reports we have no official data on the way to budget spending this year. But even if we add budgets to the past four years in essence we have not implemented expected and relevant projects for the country's development. So we have a lot of damage to both the economic, social, political and so on, but with particular emphasis Kosovo has lost its image as a priority country for development and investment, today we don't have any investors coming from outside or strategic investors that can or wait for a particular” project, Shala concluded for Blic newspaper./Periscopi/
