Kosovo as a state in Europe poses a serious problem of air pollution, due to the production of electricity from Kosovo A
and Kosovo B coal fired-power plants, which use coal as fuel. Although Kosovo possesses large coal reserves, the monetary
income from the production of electric power from the Coal-Fires Power Plants is very low and too much coal spending,
which is a huge resource loss as well as a very valuable natural resource for future generations. Implementation of nuclear
reactors may bring profits to this country and coal could have been sold as a raw material in various sectors, thus probably
the state could earn about half a billion euros each year, this is due to the non-construction of a nuclear power plant. Kosovo
is losing more than 2 billion amounts euro of coal-fired coal for 18 years due to coal-fired power plants. During 2017,
Kosovo produced 5 300 000 MWh of electricity. Kosovo had also extracted 8 million tons of coal to produce electricity,
while a nuclear reactor needs about 264.99 kg of 235U per year. The aim of this research is to highlight the increment of the
price of electricity in the region of Kosovo and therefore standing as a big obstacle to foreign investment.
