A probe will be launched into the power outages lasting more than the planned time, declared economy minister Artane Rizvanolli.

She also added that citizens’ complaints over the alleged extended power outages will be gathered into a file.

A protest is set to take place on Monday calling for the minister to resign.

“On Monday, December 27, starting at 13:00, we gather near KEDS in protest against this alarming situation and demand: electricity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, dismissal of Minister Rizvanolli and getting KEDS under state ownership. “The protests will not stop until this company takes responsibility for its failures, we will return to normalcy”, said Dibran Hoxha, the organizer of the protest.

Kosovo is in the midst of an energy crisis which has led to nationwide power outages.
