"The level of losses for November marked a historic drop, by reaching 32.8 percent compared to November 2013, when the level of losses was 48 percent," Gjiknuri declared.
The Minister said that from December 4th, when the new payment scheme with an 80 percent discount for delay fines entered in force, the Energy Corporation has signed 16,800 agreements for paying debts.
