Six months from tax deployment, Bosnia and Herzegovina exports 27m euros less to Kosovo

Exports of goods from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Kosovo in the past six months compared to the same period of the previous year have dropped to 27m euros.

So said Bosnian Foreign Trade and Economic Relations Minister Mirko Sharovic.

He for Vijesti.ba has shown that from the set-up of the 100 per cent fee, the Bosnian economy has been markedly damaged.

“This can be seen if we take, for example, the first four months of 2019, when we exported products worth 500 thousand euros, while in the first four months of 2018 we exported goods worth 20m euros”, he said, sends in Telegrafi.

According to Sharovic, if the 100 per cent rate does not depart by July 1st, when the summit of Western Balkan leaders in Paris, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia will consider introducing various countermass patterns.

By contrast, the Kosovo government on November 21st had made the decision to set the 100 per cent customs fee -- goods imported from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
