Prishtina, 19. 03. 2012 – Deputy Minister of Economic Development, Ramadan Hasani, visited today the heating stove production factory ‘Emaliku’ in the industrial area between Prishtina – Fushë Kosovë, which was severely damaged as a consequence of heavy snowfall (80% of the factory facilities and a part of the storage and sales facilities).

At the event, Deputy Minister Hasani encouraged this company’s management to continue their operations, while promising the support of the Ministry of Economic Development and other line-ministries.

“We will do everything in our hands to alleviate as much as possible the damage caused to you by the recent natural disasters. Thus, we will submit a request to the Ministry of Finance and Office of Prime Minister to ensure that you are relieved of all import taxes for your raw materials,” said Hasani.

For his part, the manager of ‘Emaliku’, Amir Rrmoku, thanked Deputy Minister Hasani for the interest and assistance shown and informed the visiting party of the incurred damages, which fortunately resulted in no human losses.

He made note of the damage caused to his machinery, raw materials and final products, which amount to around 200 thousand euro.
