Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)Bosnia and Herzegovina Foreign Minister Igor Crnadak said Wednesday that the Kosovo Government's decision to impose taxes on imports from Bosnia is in full opposition to the principles of free trade in the region, as well as on the general principles of regional relations. “Follow this decision by authorities in Pristina, Bosnia [...]
“Following this decision by authorities in Pristina, Bosnia will react under the CEFTA Agreement of Free Trade between Central European countries. I will also ask that this Pristina decision be put in order day at the meeting of foreign ministers of Western Balkan countries, to be held on November 29th and 30th in Montenegro”, Crnadak said, the Balkan Radio Free Europe Service reported.
On Tuesday, the Kosovo government has made the decision to impose customs duties on goods imported by Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This measure implies the 10% tax on all imports of origin from Serbia and Bosnia.
Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic reacted to it Wednesday, which said the move is Pristina's message to the European Union to approve Kosovo citizens of visa liberalisation.
There's nothing we can do. This is how Pristina” works, Dacic told reporters in Belgrade. (REL)
