Despite the statistics of the Ministry of Finance that Kosovo scored bigger economic growth, when compared with last year, political instability and demonstrations in streets in Pristina negatively influence on attraction of foreign investments, warned experts.
“What are we offering currently to potential foreign investors? Images of violence, tear-gas, Molotov cocktails and vehicles set in fire, destruction, arrests are additionally adding to negative image of Kosovo for investors from developed states. Future investors will abandon the idea of investment, while those who already invested in Kosovo are faced with dilemma whether their investment is safe and above all whether their employees are safe? If there is no economic development, Kosovo can’t be stable either,” reads the communiqué of the chairperson of a German-Kosovo Chamber of Commerce Samir Krasniçi.
For economic stability a climate of favorable political climate is needed which, according to experts, has to be achieved as far as possible, because according to data from the Agency for statistics the unemployment rate in Kosovo is at alarming 35,3 per cent.
