The economic hope (Kosova Sot)
The front page editorial of Kosova Sot newspaper addresses the economic problem that Kosovo is facing. The daily writes that this year, the official data show that the trade deficit will be over two billion euros, which shows Kosovo’s great dependence on imports, and the limited production capacity. Politicians have promised during the election campaign, that, if elected, they would support the local companies with funds. If this will be considered on the government program that is being drafted by coalition partners, things can move forward. The support for the manufacturing sector will be crucial for reducing the trade deficit and dependence by customs.
The daily also writes that unemployment and corruption are the main concerns for Kosovo citizens. The new government will have to show more willingness and courage to address these key challenges.
