The President of the Chamber of Commerce of Kosovo (OEK), Lulzim Rafuna, has said that from the measures imposed by the European Union, Kosovo has lost around 300 million euros in projects that would have a direct impact on businesses.
He made these comments in a media conference where he added that these measures have also affected the image of Kosovo in the understanding of foreign investors.
He called for state institutions to work on fulfilling the conditions for the country to remove these measures.
"As a result of the EU measures, we have been damaged in two aspects: the first is material, where up to now over 292 million, approximately 300 million euros of projects have been blocked that have not been able to be implemented, those projects are capital that will have a direct impact on businesses. The second is also a matter of image. It is not a good image when you as a state have punitive measures in terms of foreign investors. We demand that those measures be lifted as soon as possible, we demand from the institutions to meet the conditions and criteria so that we are not subject to punitive measures," he said. /EO/
