The Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo, Besnik Bislimi, has confirmed on Wednesday that the regulation of the Central Bank of Kosovo (CBK), which decides that only the euro currency can be used for cash payments, will enter into force on Thursday, February 1, as well as predicted.
This comes despite international pressure for Kosovo to postpone the implementation of such a decision, which prohibits the use of the Serbian dinar in the country. Bislimi said that an easy transition will be ensured.
" The implementation of the regulation does not mean a ban on transfers from Serbia and does not mean eventual financial penalties for holding the currency of another country", he said.
Serbia, which does not recognize Kosovo's independence, continues to use the dinar to pay pensions, social benefits and salaries for the parallel institutions it has in Kosovo. Bislim insisted that the CBK regulation has nothing to do with the Serbian dinar in particular.
" There is no doubt that the final goal of the regulation is also the protection of the consumer and payments in the Republic of Kosovo. The goal of the regulation was not and is not the determination of the official currency in circulation since this was determined much earlier, it was also not the focus of the regulation banning the circulation of any specific currency ", he emphasized.
