Local producers for the sale of an ethic liquor license have been charged with a five-euro excise -- much that, according to them, is unaffordable, writes Today Koha Ditore.

On March 24, 2015, the government in charge of Isa Mustaf had decided to free itself of excise alcohol duties for medical use. This decision tasked the Ministry of Finance and Kosovo Customs with implementation.
But in the Ministry of Finance, the paper has told us that to be released from the excise, an administrative guide is needed by the Ministry of Health and Spatial Environment and Planning to establish conditions and criteria to gain this legal right.
