All the villages of the administrative unit of Novosela in the municipality of Vlora have a tradition of going to the open market once a week. Who to sell and who to buy. But this market at the same time is also an indicator of the economic condition of the area.
The majority of buyers say that the high prices are making it unaffordable to buy even food products.
" You can't access anything. Not even to ask. "
" We have nothing to do with 100,000 ALL. Pensions at the end. "
This tendency is also reflected in the merchants, who sell less as time goes by, even though according to them the prices are at the lowest possible level.
" There is no purchasing power. Here are 500 lek mandarins, 600 lek this one. How can we be satisfied? Here I am sitting here, I haven't even sold 400 Lek. "
" From week to week it comes and goes. There is no more money. "
In addition to the lack of consumption, traders and consumers also face the missing market infrastructure. In the entire territory of the municipality of Vlora, there is still no real market and investments in this sector have been missing for more than three decades. (A2 Televizion)
