The Wave of Price Hikes

Kosovo is experiencing an unprecedented increase in the prices of basic, food, and energy products. This situation complicates family budgets and increases the risk of poverty.

Dependence on foreign imports makes the Kosovar economy sensitive to global crises. Citizens are looking for concrete solutions to ensure a decent life.

The price of bread, milk, and fuel has become the main obstacle for thousands of families.

Social Risks

Pharmacy Drugs

Drug Abuse Without Prescription

Self-medication and uncontrolled purchase of antibiotics and sedatives create bacterial resistance and dangerous dependence. This threatens public health systemically.

Child Labor

Child Exploitation

Begging, hard labor, and the use of children for financial gain by parents or third parties. A social scourge that violates fundamental rights of childhood and education.

Energy Drinks

Stimulants

Excessive consumption of energy drinks, tobacco, and other substances among young people.

Stress

Mental Health

Daily stress and lack of psychological support resulting from economic difficulties.

Major Concerns

Dangerous Self-medication

Buying antibiotics without a medical prescription has led to serious health incidents. The body develops resistance, making simple medicines ineffective when truly needed.

Children in the Street

The phenomenon of children begging or selling in the street is often the result of exploitation by parents. It deprives them of school and a normal childhood, creating a cycle of poverty.

Energy Drink Culture

The growing consumption of energy drinks and similar substances among young people, often mixed with alcohol, creates heart and nerve problems at a young age.
