The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo<\/a> (LDK), Lumir Abdixhiku, said that the country is facing the most severe case of rising prices seen in its history.<\/p>\n

Abdixhiku cited a report<\/a> published by Kosovo\u2019s Statistical Agency which pointed out that the price in the basket of goods reached a record high.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe price of flour rose by 29%, bread 17%, oil 46%, sugar 23%, potatoes 24%, tomatoes 30%, and fuel nearly 30%. Meanwhile, the unsubsidized price of electricity is at 85%-100% higher. This occurred in a year. This enormous unprecedented rise puts the people of Kosovo in an unaffordable daily crisis\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The opposition leader also criticized Kurti\u2019s government and accused it of \u201cabandoning its duties\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the midst of rising prices, the government stands as a spectator. It is looking at the crisis the same as citizens. No fiscal measures, no government policies, no development packages have been undertaken so far. The government\u2019s incapacity is pricey\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n
