In a press conference, officials from the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce warned that if the political crisis persists in 2016, it stands to cause irreparable damage to Kosovo’s economic interests. Kosovo doesn’t have the luxury to risk implementation of the recently-signed Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with Europe, said officials adding that a political consensus is necessary to overcome the crisis. The head of the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce, Safet Gerxhaliu, said they plan to organise a number of activities with the representatives of the business community to discuss SAA challenges and advantages.
