Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj said Thursday that the 100 per cent tax on Serbian goods should not be lifted until Serbia recognises Kosovo's independence.
Kosovo customs told America's “Zer” that since tax access to products from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, about 20 trucks with goods have been returned, due to non-information on tax hikes and the way production countries are referred to the state of Kosovo.\ch.
