The Kosovo Minister of Agriculture, Blerand Staliveci, reacted after
some media articles said that the agricultural land in Kosovo is
poisoned and that the consumption of agricultural products presents a
real danger for life, by rejecting these voices.
“The consumption of fruits, vegetables, meat and other products, including dairy, could result even with death”.
This was the conclusion of a European Commission report, published by Express Newspaper in Prishtina. It also says that the agricultural land is contaminated with metals such as chrome, nickel, lead, zinc and arsenic.
The high concentration of these pollution elements seems to be all over Kosovo. Syzana Bytyci, from the European Commission Information OFfice, declared for Top Channel that this study has not analyzed the effect of these substances in the food chain. The EU will assist in another detailed study, in order to be clear about the potential effecta.
The Minister of Agriculture, Blerand Stavileci, declared for Top Channel that this study is not based on scientific grounds, and hence, it is not valid.
Minister Stavileci says that the fertile land of Kosovo is healthy and that the producers from Kosovo make regular analysis for this.
The Minister advised the citizens to consume local goods, because they are not harmful and there is nothing to be worried about.
