(7 years ago)One of the most reliable people of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Euro-deputte and rapporteur for Serbia, David McAllister, has asked the Kosovo government to annul the decision on the tax against goods of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. “The Kosovo Government's decision to apply tax 100 per cent for goods from Serbia and [...]
The Kosovo Government's decision to apply the 100 per cent tax on goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina is a clear violation of CEFTA and the Stabilisation and Association Agreement. I call on the government in Pristina to cancel this decision so that, I hope, the dialogue will continue”, McAllister said.
He also added that the EU has already made it clear that there can be no achievement of a legally binding agreement between Kosovo and Serbia without the removal of the tax.
I understand both sides have concerns, I understand it is not easy, but I also want to stress that the two presidents Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci have raised dialogue to the new level”, McAllister, who is considered a trustworthy man of Merkel in the European Parliament, has said.
