The escalating oil crisis has prompted a critical appeal from the Kosovan Chamber of Economic Interests to the government for immediate assistance. News from Gazeta Express, dated March 21, 2026, at 9:03, highlights a serious concern. Chairman Lulzim Rafuna cautioned that recent worldwide events, specifically the conflict in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, pose a significant risk to Kosovo’s economy.
He anticipates rising oil and energy costs, urging the government to swiftly formulate a support package for both businesses and the populace. Rafuna, speaking to Ekonomia Online, emphasized that while Kosovo lacks direct maritime access through the strait, the repercussions are felt indirectly via European markets and international trade. “We don’t, essentially, have vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz.”
The chairman stressed the urgent need for government intervention to mitigate the potential damage caused by these global developments.
He believes a proactive support system is vital to safeguard the nation’s economic stability amidst the volatile oil situation.
