A set of eggs on brands in Pristina is currently being traded at 4 euros and 49 cents -- the highest price ever reached for this product since price expensive has begun.

According to the Kosovo Statistics Agency award (ASK), just two days earlier, a set of eggs has been sold for 4 euros and 29 cents.
