Kosovo’s Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati, said in a Facebook post that according to the Kosovo Agency for Statistics, the economic growth in the first quarter of this year has increased pace by marking 5.62 percent which is visibly higher compared to the previous quarter which was 3.96 percent.

“After overcoming the storm of global crisis and the stabilization of prices, we are gradually turning to the targeted potential and growth. This refutes all skeptical voices and dim prognoses that tried to relate visa liberalization with apocalyptic scenarios at the beginning of the year. As can be seen, visa liberalization is one of the best things that could have happened for the country’s economy recently. In addition to facilitating travel to visit relatives in the diaspora, now businesses and entrepreneurs can find new markets more easily and further their business activities,” Murati writes.
