Neki komentatori tvrde da je ta mjera bila neophodna jer su kompanije s Kosova bile neravnopravne u regionalnoj trgovini, zbog čega su njihovi proizvodi bili skuplji i manje konkurentni, čime se usporava rast poslovanja i ekonomski razvoj.
Some commentators argue the measure was necessary because Kosovo businesses were unequal in regional trade, which made their products more expensive and less competitive, blunting business growth and economic development.
