Opportunities to Foreign Investment in Kosovo
Problem identification (PTK)
The main issues surrounding the privatization of PTK are the following:
●
•
•
•
According to most key performance indicators, PTK is severely lagging behind its
peers, even when the company is observed without the post.
The company has too many employees, which is why a hiring freeze was
introduced in the company in May 2010.
Failure to carry out capital projects
Mismanagement of the company
Doubts about the period of PTK privatization (is it right time)?
Analysis of the relevant facts (PTK)
Kosovo market has become very competitive since the market entry of Telekom
Slovenije - Ipko. Price war between PTK and IPKO has decreased the tariffs for all
services dramatically and the increase in average usage of services has not been sufficient
to maintain the revenues at the previous levels.
However, PTK will be included in the privatization process. The corporation of Post &
Telecommunication of Kosovo will be transferred into the hands of new owners by
September this year, according to the plans of the Government. The corporation was put
on sale in the middle of last year and is expected to be sold for around €300 Million up to
€600 Million. This privatization will be viewed by international governmental and inter-
governmental bodies such as the European Union, International Monetary Fund and
World Bank as well as international investors as a measure of the GoK's commitment to
a liberalized economy hospitable to foreign investment and where companies are
operated transparently for the benefit of shareholders.
Consulting companies TelCo AG and Wolf Theiss selected to advise Kosovo
Government on Telecom privatization. Already they prepared a strategy where they
proposed privatization of 75% of the Post-Telecom of Kosova.
