Minister of Economic Development, Blerand Stavileci, said there is no room for panic with regards to concerns over Kosovo’s energy supply. Stavileci said relevant institutions have undertaken all necessary actions to ensure electricity supply.

Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning, Ferat Shala, said his ministry is implementing the law on expropriation but until its full implementation, the Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) should negotiate with residents on some provisional settlement.

The ministers made the comments at a government meeting today called to discuss the recent situation with electricity supply after concerns that Kosovo could enter an energy crisis as a result of lack of progress in expropriation procedures of coal-rich land.
