Almost every Kosovo knows it should be almost 10 euros when it approaches the Serbia-Kosovo border to avoid waiting several hours, writes DW. This causes millions of euros a year to go into the pockets of corrupt policemen. Yet Kosovars who have spoken of the DW believe that such a thing is politically motivated.
They take it from 10 euros, I try to give it five (a border police), but he told me it wasn't enough for”, so he said. DW one person from the Pristina area.
It's not much, but it's not good. As much as you think they win by taking it this way”, he adds away.
Sometimes police officers who check records ask for money, and sometimes people put money in their passport.
Someone in Bitwitter wrote that those who refuse to pay 10 euros could face several hours of waiting.
The line on the Serbian border ahead of entry into the Republic of Kosovo is divided into two lines -- on those who have paid, and on those who have paid.
Serbia's Interior Ministry have ignored DW questions about this practice, and have given no answer to the question of how many police officers have been prosecuted for taking bribes.
