The recent scandal with Belgian rotten meat confirmed concerns about the uncertainty of meat quality and other products that circulate in the market.
The introduction of over 1,000 pounds [60,000,000 kg] of meat over the longer term also highlighted the disregard and lack of institutional capacity to ensure secure market and products that adhere to minimum standards.
Of all the amount of broken meat that had managed to enter Kosovo by the Belgium-based company “V EVIBA”, the Food and Veterinary Agency (AUV) had managed to detect and eliminate only one container of 20 thousand pounds, or a third of the amount. The rest had managed to enter without notice as they were distributed into the market for consumption. And the work of the Kosovo company “Europa Ida” that had imported meat from Belgium was not suspended after that, Koha Ditore writes today.
The company from Rahoveci had continued its work until Belgian authorities alarmed about the quality of meat imported to several Southeast European countries, including Kosovo. After the scandal broke out, Kosovo's tracking authorities have raided the company by Rahoveci, where they again found expired products.
