Prices of Some Products Raised in Kosovo

As to the impact of the measures and that by the time they are in force, they have not returned responses from the Government and the Ministry of Commerce.

Serbia, over the years, has increased the amount of exports to Kosovo, until, according to economists, Kosovo should focus on increasing co-operation with countries of the region like Albania and northern Macedonia, for importing products.

Reported in recent days, economists do not link the measures to Serbian products. But according to them, such decisions are being misused by price hikes businesses,

Measures against Serbian goods Kosovo imposed, following the arrest of three policemen, are continuing to be in force, though easier.

Even further into Kosovo, no final products produced in Serbia can enter, but only the first material.

While prices in certain products have been reported on in the market, economists say, it is not about the effect of the measures, it is about misuse by businesses.

Even according to economist Nagip Skyer, the government never imposed serious measures for Serbian products, which it would have to do, reports Rtv Dukajni.

He adds that even the measures imposed at the time of tensions in the north have never been implemented, since many Serbian products are still on the market.

Nagip Skypier, economist, has said that “however these have not had a major impact on Kosovo's economy, the import of Serbian goods in Kosovo has continued further, even in the data of the ASS and ministry, shows that over 1 million we have goods imported from Serbia, and the trend is on the rise. No stop is stopping them, but we've got an import increase of Serbia”.

Economist Erton Bega says Serbian products can be replaced by products from other states, and the best form is not through government decisions.

Erton Bega, economist, has said that “Tradia cannot be hampered by government measures because these measures are then perceived as limiting the development of free economy, and the government could then face problems in European integration processes because it looks like a bunch of destructives in regional co-operation, only citizens are the ones who could influence through lowering consumption and not buying these products to avoid importing<1>.
