LDK: The price of electricity has increased twice during the Kurti Government
The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) considers
that the Kurti Government does not have minimum knowledge, vision, capacity,
and plan to solve the problem with electricity, referring to high electricity
bills. They say that the LDK is the only party that has a specific vision and
program to improve this situation.
In a press conference, the member of the LDK leadership,
Visar Azemi, said that due to the incompetence of the Kurti Government,
citizens are being forced to pay staggering and unaffordable electricity bills.
He said that for three years this government
has not increased the power generation capacity by one megawatt.
Further, he said that this government does not
have the experience to solve the problem with electricity, while criticizing
the Minister of Economy, Artane Rizvanolli, regarding the decisions taken on
projects related to electricity.
Azemi emphasized that the government is not
doing anything to fulfill the goal that Kosovo will achieve 30 percent of
electricity from renewable sources by 2031.
Among other things, Azemi emphasized that
unlike the Kurti government, the Democratic League of Kosovo has a specific
vision and program for solving the problem with electricity.
According to him, the construction of the power
plant with American gas, the actual rehabilitation of the Kosova B power plant,
the focus on renewable energy, the reduction of VAT to zero percent for
electricity bills, and other actions would be done by the LDK, to solve this
issue.
Azemi publicly invited the Minister of Economy Artane Rizvanolli to a debate to talk about this situation. /Z. Zeneli/
