In an interview for KosovaPress, the former Minister of Finance, Avdullah Hoti, while he also spoke about economic issues in the country, expressed his concern regarding the management of the Pension Trust and the performance of public enterprises. He emphasized the importance of workers' representation in the Trust Board, pointing out that this board has been complete for almost a year, which has had a negative impact on the management of workers' savings funds. In addition, he criticized the deterioration of the performance of public enterprises during the current government's mandate and the increase in subsidies and loans from the state budget for these enterprises.
According to Hoti, the country's relationship with its allies was much better during the time of the president, Rugova.
As for the decline in export and foreign investments, he says this is due to the war-inducing rhetoric of the country's leaders.
He also says that today Kosovo does not have a law for foreign investments nor for economic zones as it was in the previous government with a focus on attracting foreign investors and encouraging local businesses./E.Krasniqi/
