KCC files criminal complaint against ERO for damage to businesses

The Kosovo Chamber of Commerce (KKC) has announced that it has filed a Criminal Report with the Special Prosecution Office against the Chairman and members of the Board of the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO), on the well-founded suspicion that they have committed criminal offenses.

The KCC has also listed the criminal offenses that they believe they have committed: Failure to execute a court decision, abuse of official position or authority, violation of official duty, fraud in office, violation of public economic interest.

"This action follows the request of the KCC to the ERO Board for reflection and the start of the implementation of the Supreme Court's judgment, with the aim of returning the businesses forcibly removed to the free market at regulated prices. However, the ERO Board has decided to ignore and misinterpret this judgment, harming businesses and citizens of Kosovo, with the highest energy bills in the history of the Republic," their announcement on Facebook reads.

The filing of the complaint, according to the KCC, is based on the final judgment of the Supreme Court, official documents and communications from ERO, as well as materials proving the economic damage caused.

"The KCC remains committed to its mission to protect the interests of businesses and citizens in Kosovo."
