Serbian Trade Minister Rasim Lajic and BiH Trade and Economic Relations Minister Mirko Sharovic agreed during the meeting in Sarajevo that two countries should co-ordinate and co-ordinate activities aimed at increasing pressure to abolish the tax, the KP reports.
The condition for this is the unconditional removal of official Pristina taxes, the statement said.
If that does not happen, as it is estimated, the EU will undermine its credibility and the countries of this region will miss another opportunity for economic recovery and normalisation of political opportunities.
Lajic recalls that since 21 November last year, when the measures have been imposed -- until 21 May -- Serbia has sent 189.5m euros less goods compared to the same period last year, which represents an 80 per cent decline in Kosovo. Such a thing, practically, according to Lajjic, means the damages are more than one million euros a day.
While, Sharovic said that in the past six months, Bosnia has marked the decline in delivery of goods to Kosovo of 97 per cent, or 27m euros less than the same period last year.
