Minister of Trade and Industry in the Government of Kosovo, Andrew Shala, tells Radio Free Europe that this move has been necessary for the country's economy, as Serbia's state, according to him, consistently violates regional agreements.

The Adriatic Stavileci, spokesperson for the Kosovo Customs, tells Radio Free Europe that no change has been observed so far in importing the products of these two states on Kosovo territory.
