The Dairy Association of Kosovo has publicly expressed doubts about the practical implementation of the Ministry of Agriculture’s decision to restrict palm oil and milk powder in the dairy processing sector.

Minister Armend Muja announced the suspension of these substances in dairy factories on 10 May 2026, while the official document was finalized by the Minister’s Cabinet two days later and received a protocol number on 15 May 2026.

Point 5 of the regulatory act emphasizes that no certified milk processing entity is allowed to introduce palm oil, other vegetable fats, or milk powder into production without a specific permit issued by the Food and Veterinary Agency.

But the Association claims that, based on the data it has, so far no processing unit in the country has secured such a transitional approval, yet production activity is proceeding as if nothing has changed.

In its statement, the organization poses a series of questions to the authorities: what mechanisms are supervising these enterprises, who is ensuring compliance with the regulation, and why is the use of these substances being tolerated when the required permits are missing.

Representatives of the dairy industry call on the Ministry and the Food and Veterinary Agency to take an open stance on the enforceability of the measure, stressing that the public and livestock farmers deserve full transparency in this sector.

In a Facebook post, he said the executive had refused to implement the Washington Agreement, while accepting the Ohrid Agreement, which, according to him, is now being treated as an international obligation for Kosovo.

Hoti underlined that the Washington Agreement remains unimplemented even six years after it was signed, including the American gas project.

“The Washington Agreement has not been implemented for six years now. Even today, when all of Europe is up in arms to completely eliminate any dependence on Russian gas, Kurti and his henchmen are rejecting the American gas project while rambling about other energy supply alternatives,” he wrote.

According to Hoti, the approach has been entirely different when it comes to the Ohrid Agreement.

“But they did not hesitate to accept the Ohrid Agreement, which according to Sorensen now constitutes an international obligation for Kosovo,” he added.

He also attached to his post a photo from yesterday’s statement by Peter Sorensen, the European Union envoy for the Kosovo–Serbia dialogue. During the Dubrovnik Forum, Sorensen stated that the Ohrid Agreement constitutes an international commitment and remains in force even though it has not been signed.
