All these trucks entered Kosovo from Serbia filled with products from this country still named by Kosovars as an enemy country.
But it has been a week since Serbia's products are not being introduced in Kosovo, since 100 per cent tax was imposed on Serbian products.
This decision by the Government of Kosovo has alarmed Serbian producers, who had their own market in Kosovo.
So more than half of the Kosovo market was covered by Serbian products.
But from exports Kosovo to Serbia is very different.
The Kosovo state can only boast of Albania, which in 2017 had 60.3m euros in exports.
But even now, after the move is decided by Kosovo, Serbia will not lose the market to Albanians. A stability is enabling Albania.
This country continues to maintain almost the import of products coming from Serbia.
Of the statistics released by CEFTA for 2017, about 188m euros, Albania, with Edi Rama at the top, provides Serbia with more than 50 percent of the products.
Serbia receives only 12% of Albanian products from Albania.
Meanwhile, Albania exports more to Kosovo.
In 2017 alone, according to CEFTA statistics, 52 per cent, or 156m euros, receive from the Kosovo state market.
And only 21 percent from Macedonia.
But the same Albania is not supporting Kosovo.
And when these statistics are seen, it is unwarrantable that Finance Minister Arben Ahmeti's statement, which during a visit to Belgrade, went against the 100 per cent tax stops Serbian goods imposed by the Kosovo government.
