Today, Our Economy Is Divided: Fifty Percent

As The President Of Kosovo, I Am More Concerned About The Current Situation With The Employment Standing At Around 70 % Of The Population, Which Is Young, With Great Potential, Speaking Many Foreign Languages And Having Wide Expertise.

During These Two And A Half Years That Have Followed The War, The Most Urgent Problem We Have Encountered Was: To Activate The Public Enterprises, To Bring Them Up To The Level That International Markets Demand And We Are Just Now Getting Them Prepared For Privatization.

Today, Our Economy Is Divided: Fifty Percent Is The Public Economy And Fifty Percent Is The Private Economy That Includes Small Companies Employing From 4 To 200 Workers.

First, We Will Focus On The Privatization Of Small And Medium Sized Enterprises, Followed By The Medium Size Industry And Then We Will Move On To The Heavy Industry.

I Want To Emphasize The Fact That The Independence Of Kosovo Should And Will Be Recognized.
