The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) Parliamentary Group has secured approval to hold a parliamentary debate on the energy sector during Thursday`s Assembly session, its head, Besnik Tahiri, announced.

Speaking after a meeting of the Assembly Presidency, Tahiri said the debate would address electricity shortages, rising prices and transactions related to electricity purchases.

"First, the request of our parliamentary group, that is, the request of the Alliance, has been approved. On Thursday, we will debate energy. We will discuss the most important issue Kosovo faces today, which is not only the lack of electricity, but also electricity prices, transactions and the entire process of purchasing electricity," Tahiri said.

He expressed concern that more than €1 billion had been spent on electricity purchases during the current government's mandate.

According to Tahiri, the issue should be examined not only by the Prosecutor's Office but also through parliamentary scrutiny.

"Electricity purchases worth more than €1 billion should not only be investigated by the Prosecutor's Office, but also examined and debated in Parliament," he said.

Tahiri also raised concerns about the B1 unit, claiming that it remains out of operation, further increasing Kosovo's dependence on electricity imports.

"Energy is a key issue for Kosovo's economy, particularly because of the high electricity prices in the country," he added.
