With the tax imposed, and then reciprocity, which Serbia has lost market in Kosovo, which notes the decline in goods imports from this country.

Trade and Industry Minister Vesel Krasniqi also stated that the awareness of citizens with the location of flags on the market has increased.

It's true that according to the statistics we possess. The tax effect has been enormous, given that in the past we have been almost 60 percent of food products imported from Serbia”.

The “well after placing taxes and placing flags on the mark, it certainly has influenced citizens' awareness, so even after the removal of the tax on Serbia, if we compare the period it has been tax-free, it is clearly seen that it has reduced imports of products from Serbia”, Krasniqi said.

The number one in the Ministry of Commerce, for Online Economy, said many economic operators have imported from Serbia, while it was while they found other supply channels and in that form. Krasniqi says local products are European standards.

This has also affected the affirmation of the product produced in our country, which has perhaps not had such a satisfactory plastic in Kosovo. From this period the capacity of our local producers has grown and increased, so that they have managed to supply Kosovo, and in this case we can say quite seriously that products that are produced in Kosovo, are European standards with which we boast and we as institutions will certainly continue to support through subsidies, through support of their exports to other countries through the organisation of different 48x1> fairs, he said.

Krasniqi has pledged that the Kosovo government will continue to support the country's producers, but that it says economic recovery will initially be made, caused by the pandemic.

“Of course we've said that our main focus will be the support of local producers, consumer protection and export support. In this case, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, at this time of pandemic” “... The main focus focus is economic recovery, and in this case we plan to support through subsidies and grants, and in this case all those investments that have been oriented for something else, we've been focusing on the focus of supporting businesses”, Krasniqi said.
