Prime Minister Albin Kurti strongly defended his government against accusations of fueling inflation, emphasizing its considerable impact. He dismissed criticisms, asserting that the issue stems from external forces rather than internal causes. Kurti maintained that inflation is “imported,” fundamentally not a product of Kosovo’s economy.
He clarified that the situation is directly linked to disruptions in global shipping routes. Specifically, vessels traversing the Strait of Hormuz are now utilizing fuel oil, a shift from traditional fuel sources. Kurti highlighted Kosovo’s lack of domestic oil reserves as a crucial factor in this circumstance.
“Inflation is imported, it’s not a domestic source,” Kurti stated. “If it were, we would bear the primary responsibility. However, inflation is imported.
This is due to the fact that in the Strait of Hormuz, ships use fuel oil instead of traditional fuel.”
Kurti’s response underscored the interconnectedness of global markets and the challenges facing nations reliant on external supply chains. The Prime Minister’s position is that the current inflationary pressures are not attributable to domestic policy, but rather a consequence of broader international events.
