From 100% tax in inspections and additional tests: Here's what I'm going to do for Serbian products.

In 2017, according to the Kosovo Statistics Agency, our country exported about 48m euros of goods to Serbia, while Serbia exported goods worth over 450m euros to us.

This trade deficit has largely been attributed to the weaker production capacities in Kosovo, but also to non-tariff barriers imposed by the Serbian state.

By the measure of reciprocity it would mean that Kosovo would also place the same non-tariff barriers, writes Periscope.

According to a “Document on Politics” prepared by the Ministers of Trade and Industry in 2015, supported by an EU project with the title “Further Technical Development of Kosovo Trade Policy” shows that our country has the lowest level of exports in the region.

Some of these difficulties involve trade barriers. ” ] > The login of the document in question.

It identifies barriers used by Serbia as “bariria non-Tarifore, Technical Barries in Trade and Standards/Sanitary Masses and Win-Sanitary. In addition, the transit of Kosovo products through Serbia is also said to be facing administrative barriers.

The next part states that Serbia has imposed many procedures and requirements on Kosovo products, further and long inspection processes, as well as with Serbia's <x0sic” unexpected obstacles established by Serbia's Food and Veterinary Agency. ”

The MTI at the time complained that such a thing, Serbia did not ask developing countries of bigger producers, but only Kosovo and other transition countries.

Since Kosovo does not have the same inspection capacity as Serbia, it is difficult to understand how reciprocity should be put into question since most forms of barriers are not standardised. /Periscope
