Chief Prime Minister Kadri Wessel, earlier this week, has handed over his written proposal for the 120-day suspension of the tax to preserve Kosovo's interests and partnership with the United States. Similarly, Wessel had given this document to American Ambassador Philip Costnet in [...]
Similarly, Wessel had given this document to US Ambassador Philip Costett, at the invitation meeting on January 23rd, attended by Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj.
Klan Kosova has secured the complete document of Wessel, which consists of 9 pages.
The US Ambassador's statements, which are not about tax removal, but only about its temporary suspension, clearly comply with Wessel's proposal.
The document envisions conditions for tax suspension, measures during the suspension period, as well as the return of the 100 %s tax and full reciprocity with Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
As such, Wessel's proposal to suspend the tax in reality turns out to weigh Serbia even harder.
These are the terms of the 120-day suspension of the tax that Wessel's document envisions:
To Serbia: The temporary suspension of the customs tariff measures for 120 days is recommended, starting on February 1st, 2019. This suspension will serve as a deadline for Serbia, so that within this period it can fulfil the obligations this state derive from the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), as well as agreements reached through the Brussels Dialogue. Within this 120-day deadline of temporary suspension, it is required of Serbia to change its hostile position, and within the framework of normalisation of relations and efforts to ensure a good neighbourhood, to take the following actions:
- To implement the joint crossings agreement under Integrated Border Management and to be co-operative in exchanging cross-border information and verification for security purposes and ease of trade between the two countries.
- Accept and recognise all documents of goods, licenses, seals and documentation issued by the authority of the Republic of Kosovo.
- To recognise the boat and banners in Kosovo products.
- Serbia's customs will permanently cease the use of the seals of Serb parallel structures in Kosovo, and fully respect the commitment made to the agreement reached on September 2nd 2011 in Brussels for mutual recognition of the seals, as well as the obligation that flows within CEFTA, where the parties have agreed to use only confirmed seals for all members of this organisation.
- To recognise the license plates of Kosovo citizens, as well as travel documents issued by responsible institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.
- Eliminate barriers, double standards, or mistreatments to members of the Kosovo diaspora who pass the transit through Serbia.
- It will be possible for travelers of third countries to enter the Transit through Kosovo into Serbia.
- In the spirit of the process of normalising relations between our two sovereign states and in line with commitments undertaken in the agreements signed in Brussels, Serbia must end efforts to undermine and undermine Kosovo's position in the international arena.
- To implement Brussels' agreements on revising the main Ibër bridge and main road in northern Mitrovica, releasing the free circulation of people and goods in both parts of the city.
- Implementation of the Brussels Energy Agreement.
To Bosnia and Herzegovina: The temporary suspension of the customs tariff measures for 120 days is recommended, starting on February 1st, 2019. This suspension will serve as a deadline for the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, so that within this period it can fulfil the obligations this country derive from the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA), as well as prove sincere will to cultivate good neighbourly relations with the Republic of Kosovo. During this deadline, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Republic is expected to take the following actions:
- From this state, our identification documents are required to be recognized and to remove barriers to the circulation of Kosovo citizens and businessmen on both sides of the border. Kosovo will take the same mutual action immediately after.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina's commitment not to prevent Kosovo from strengthening international subjectivity, starting with allowing its involvement in the Adriatic Charter and failing to prevent regional and international initiatives.
- Accept and recognise all documents of goods, licenses, seals and documentation issued by the authorities of the Republic of Kosovo.
- To recognise the boat and banners in Kosovo products.
- Serbia's customs will permanently cease the use of the seals of Serb parallel structures in Kosovo, and fully respect the commitment made to the agreement reached on September 2nd 2011 in Brussels for mutual recognition of the seals, as well as the obligation that flows within CEFTA, where the parties have agreed to use only confirmed seals for all members of this organisation.
- To recognise the license plates of Kosovo citizens as well as travel documents issued by responsible institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina customs authorities witness co-operation will in exchanging cross-border information and verifications with Kosovo state authorities for security purposes and facilitating trade between the two countries.
These are the measures during the tax suspension period, which envisions Wessel's document:
While the provisional suspension of the customs fee takes place, customs authorities will be authorised to act in accordance with the interest and laws of the state of Kosovo and the best international norms and practices in terms of goods coming in from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. That means:
Only goods imported or re-exported to Kosovo, from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are associated with documents from the Republic of Kosovo and refer to it by its constitutional name.
) From Serbia and Herzegovina's Bonja will be allowed to enter only those products that on their labels represent the name of producers, importers and importers, the address and name of the city, the exporting state and the receptive state of goods under the Constitutional name of the Republic of Kosovo.
The exporting and re-exporting declaration for goods for the final destination for the Republic of Kosovo, which comes from these two states, should respect the constitutional name of the Republic of Kosovo.
) won't be allowed to be exported or re-exported to Kosovo, goods associated with any offensive, provocative and anti-unconstitutional document for the Republic of Kosovo.
The goods being exported or re-exported to Kosovo, to be allowed to enter, must contain the description of the product in the official languages of the Republic of Kosovo.
These are the measures following the 120-day deadline, if requirements are not respected, which the document of Wessel envisions:
If the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, after spending the 120-day deadline of temporary suspension, do not take the above-mentioned actions, then the Republic of Kosovo will not only continue the 100% customs fee but will impose full reciprocity measures. That means:
If Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the 120-day deadline, refuse to recognise all documents of goods, licenses, stamps and documentation issued by the authority of the Republic of Kosovo, then the Republic of Kosovo will not recognise these documents issued by the authorities of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
If Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the 120-day deadline, refuse to recognise the license plates of the Republic of Kosovo, then the Republic of Kosovo will also decide the same measures for the vehicles of these two states, forcing them to use the subx0> approval plates”.
If Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the 120-day deadline, do not recognise all ID documents issued by Kosovo for its citizens and do not draw from the use of their identity forms, according to the <x0entry-exit form”, then the Republic of Kosovo will set the same measures for citizens from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, also setting the “entry-exit model form”.
