Government of Kosovo plans to forgive citizens’ utility debts (Koha)
Kosovo government has today decided to set up a commission tasked with reviewing the possibility of forgiving all debts businesses and people of Kosovo have to institutions and public enterprises until 31 December 2008. “2008 is a year of capital changes in Kosovo, it is the year of declaration of independence, the adoption of the Constitution and implementation of Kosovo laws. We therefore consider it necessary to have a fresh beginning, a detachment from the past,” said Finance Minister Avdullah Hoti. He specified that the commission would look into outstanding taxes and utility bills. Recommendations are expected to be presented in a month’s time.
