Avdullah Hoti, a member of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), stated that fuel derivative prices have increased by 40 percent.
According to him, the government has taken only a single measure, which he described as unusual.
He spoke during a parliamentary debate addressing the rising price of oil:
“To cope with this crisis, the Government of Kosovo has implemented only one measure, which is setting profit margins for businesses dealing with fuel derivatives. Meanwhile, the wide range of measures necessary in such cases has not been considered, and this is somewhat strange given the 40 percent increase in derivative prices. For reference, between April 2–3 alone, the oil price increased by 14 percent, and the supply price at source rose by 14 percent,” Hoti said.
The parliamentary debate continues, with an earlier resolution proposed by the LDK calling for immediate government action following the rise in oil prices.
