Livadicë, Podujevë, 17 August 2026
Honourable Mr Shpejtim Bulliqi, Mayor of Podujeva Municipality,
Honourable Minister Kusari-Lila, Minister of Industry, Entrepreneurship, Trade and Innovation,
Dear citizens of Podujevë,
It is my pleasure to be here with you today in Podujevë to mark the commencement of works on the Livadicë Industrial Park.
As a government, our aim is to transform Kosovo’s economy, strengthen domestic production, and create as many products as possible, both in variety and volume, under the “Made in Kosova” label, so that we not only replace imports but also increase exports to European and international markets.
Industrial parks are intended for domestic businesses that wish to expand and increase their capacities, for our citizens in the diaspora who wish to bring their capital and experience back to their homeland, as well as for foreign investors who see opportunities to relocate part of their production to the Republic of Kosovo.
Kosovo offers a range of advantages for investors, starting with its young, skilled and competitive workforce, proximity to the European Union market, competitive operating costs, as well as a favorable fiscal policy.
Therefore, the launch of this investment in Podujevë represents a concrete step towards this vision, creating a new foundation for investment, production and economic development in this part of Kosovo.
I would like to thank the Mayor of the Municipality for the cooperation and the good work carried out together with the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship, Trade and Innovation. Projects such as this require good coordination between the central and local levels, and the project we are launching today demonstrates that such cooperation can deliver concrete results.
As a government, we will continue to invest in the development of the private sector and in creating better conditions for investment and production. Because this means more jobs, higher incomes for families and, above all, more opportunities for our young people.
Today, we are launching the construction works, and I look forward to seeing this park soon become a new home for businesses.
