Government Rejects Opposition’s Call to Cut Oil Taxes Amid Soaring Fuel Prices in Kosovo

  • The government rejected the opposition’s request to reduce excise duty and abolish VAT on oil despite rising fuel prices due to the Middle East conflict.
  • The opposition submitted a resolution to lower excise tax and VAT on fuel and to subsidize oil prices for agriculture, public transport, and local producers.
  • The resolution aims to prevent an economic and social crisis caused by high oil prices, which have sharply increased in recent weeks.
  • Opposition leaders criticized the government for inaction and prioritizing political gains over citizens’ welfare.
  • Government ministers argued that reducing taxes would harm the state budget and affect social allowances, and thus are not viable solutions.
