According to what is written in the Macedonian media, this country has increased exports to Kosovo by 41 percent, and this Serbia has called profit in Serbia's disaster.
However, Macedonia is not the only country that has increased exports to Kosovo.
Similarly, Albania has increased its export to Kosovo by 40 percent.
According to official data by Albanian statistical agency INSTATA, large export was registered in the oil and steel manufacturing industry.
INSTAT says the import of Albanian goods in Kosovo has increased by 40 per cent since the introduction of the tax, according to the Independent Balkan Agency (IBNA).
In the period covering November and December of last year, Albanian exports to Kosovo increased for 10m euros, compared to the same period in 2017.
Meanwhile, other sectors did not have a large tax advantage because the products were much the same as a year ago.
