Three international companies have expressed interest in the privatization of Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) distribution network.

In competition are two Turkish companies: "Calik Holding" and "Limak" and Italian company "GCT s.r.l. "

"This was not an invitation for pre-qualification, but only an expression of interest. This is the first step in contacts with potential investors," said Burim Hashani from the Unit of KEK privatization.

After the expression of interest, a pre-qualification list with interested investors will be created.

Privatization of the energy network for the whole region is also required by the Energy Treaty of South-Eastern Europe.
