Osmani awaits the constitution of the assembly, the Presidency has prepared the law on the abolition of tariffs

The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, said that the Office of the Presidency has prepared a law that would enable the removal of 10 percent tariffs on goods imported from the US, but that for the adoption of this law, a new Parliament must first be constituted.

On April 3, Osmani asked the government to suspend the 10 percent customs tariff on goods from the US, a day after US President Donald Trump imposed a similar tariff on imports from Kosovo.

But the acting Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati, criticized President Osmani's approach, saying that "fiscal policies fall within the scope of the executive" and that these issues should be handled away from the media. This prompted a reaction from President Osmani's media advisor, Bekim Kupina, who called Murati's response "shameful and scandalous."

Osmani said that this dispute between Kosovo's state institutions has damaged "the interests of the Republic of Kosovo immensely." (A2 Televizion)
