The second review of the Draft Law on Temporary Measures for Basic Products in Cases of Market Destabilization failed to gain support from the opposition in the Kosovo Assembly.
The proposed legislation, which aims to introduce price control mechanisms for essential goods during periods of economic instability, faced criticism from opposition parties during parliamentary discussions.
Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) MP Arben Mustafa argued that no single political party should be granted authority over determining market prices, warning against excessive centralization of economic decision-making.
Meanwhile, LDK representative Janina Ymeri stated that while her party supports the idea behind the law, it does not agree with the way it has been structured and drafted.
Similar concerns were expressed by Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) parliamentary group leader Besnik Tahiri, who said the proposed law effectively concentrates decision-making power within the government and the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade (MINT), while creating only limited oversight mechanisms.
The draft legislation remains under parliamentary review amid ongoing debate over state intervention in market pricing and economic regulation.
