Pirates: Serbia has enormous hatred for anything that is Albanian or Kosovo

Local producer from the “plant Meka”, Burim Piraj, has talked about trade co-operation with Albania since. According to him, although export is symbolic, there are already trade barriers between the two countries.

“We as export companies in Albania, it is not a very high export, and it gets a percentage less than 3 percent of total production and sales. Last year we have had no obstacles and are satisfied with the approach of the Albanian border authorities and with treatment. Normally, meat products require additional documentation and regular transport conditions, but we meet them and we don't have difficulties”, Piraj said for “New age”

Serbia's “From many years ago we have had calls for co-operation, but due to public pressure and fear, Serbian and Albanian firms operating in Serbia are reluctant to import from Kosovo. In Serbia, there is a huge hatred for anything that is Albanian. Whoever thinks it's different let him go to Belgrade and speak Albanian will see how waiters treat him, maybe even don't serve”, said Piraj, adding that as long as we, in Kosovo, give many elements of the pro-Serbian media there, according to him, people have something almost impossible in Kosovo to market.
