In response to these states, Minister Shala has reminded representatives of Serbia and Bosnia that “U n The NMIK has not made the decision on the tariff move, but this decision has been made by the Government of Kosovo, based on the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, which guarantees Kosovo's integrity and territorial sovereignty, which is invulnerable, incompatible and protected by all means guaranteed by the Constitution and power of”.

In this direction, in the letter, which holds Minister Shala's firm, the demand from these states is said to be invalid and unacceptable to the Government of Kosovo.
