Kadriaj: Foreign Investors not interested in Kosovo due to political instability

Economic expert from Pristina, Mustafa Kadriaj, states that when it comes to foreign investments, Germany and Turkey are the primary investors in Kosovo, but he emphasizes that the investments are quite low due to poor government policies.

Kadriaj explains that this year, Kosovo was shaken by political problems which also impacted the economy.

"I believe that foreign investors were not interested because the political situation has always dictated the economy, and as a result, the burden fell on the government, which has not worked on attracting investors," Kadriaj told Kosovo Online.

He notes that investments in Kosovo mainly come from Germany and Turkey, but they are not at a commendable level.

"When talking about investors, they have primarily been from Germany and Turkey, but in recent years, the investments have been weak because the current government had no interest in the economic development sector. More has been invested in social policies which have proven unsuccessful. Since the war in Kosovo, the number of foreign investors has been quite low in the last four years. I hope that whichever government comes after the 2025 elections will change course on this matter," says Kadriaj.
