Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)Bosnia and Herzegovina Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Minister Mirko Sharovic said that regarding the 100 per cent tax imposed by Kosovo authorities, it was not necessary to use countermass, but that according to him a Bosnia reply might be required to exclude Kosovo from trade deals [...]
He stressed that one of the possible measures, if Pristina continues with the tax, is the requirement for suspending the CEFTA Central European Free Trade Agreement, or for suspending the SAA (Stable Association Process with the EU).
“They will meet on December 17th and inform (Johannes Hahni, EU Commissioner for European Policy of Business and Enlargement Negotiations) and (EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security) Federica Moghrini for this,” said Bosnian Minister for Alpha TV.
He estimated that Kosovo, with admission to CEFTA, accepted the fact that Bosnia at the time did not recognise it and also that recognition cannot be a condition for free trade.
