European Union as mediator of Kosovo dialogue, Serbia has consistently urged both countries not to condition this process
However, following the Kosovo Government's decision to impose a 100% tax on Serbian products, the European Union is supporting Serbia in conditioning dialogue with the removal of this tax. The Kosovo government says dialogue is not related to the tax on Serbian goods.
European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijanciq has told the newspaper “Voice” that Kosovo and Serbia should commit to the dialogue to continue, as the full normalisation of relations between the two countries relates to the prospect and their aspirations for EU membership.
Our position on tariffs is clear: the Kosovo Government's decision to raise tax on goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to 100% is a clear violation of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) and the spirit of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Union of Kosovo”, Kocianciq has stated.
