(2 hours ago)Kosovo customs has uncovered a case of non-recognition of monetary means during the search of a vehicle at the exit of the Merdar border crossing.
Dogana said the vehicle was selected for control based on risk analysis. During the initial interview, the customs official had asked the traveler if he owned goods or monetary means subject to the declaration. After the response, the vehicle referred to detailed control on the second line.
“During joint control by customs officials and Border Police, undeclared monetary means were discovered at two different location vehicles. A sum of 10,000 euros was found in the traveler's personal bag, while 13,500 euros were discovered hidden in envelopes within a division of the vehicle. In total, 23,500 euros were identified monetary means”, Dogana reported.
Dogana said the person also owned a notary contract for trading a property, on the 2906.2025 date, as well as a testimony to the bank withdrawal of 01.07.2026, which served as documentation on the origin of monetary means.
After completing the failure, the case immediately referred to the guardian officer of Customs Investigations for further treatment. In line with legislation in force regulating the declaration of monetary means during the entry and exit from the territory of the Republic of Kosovo, the first legal measures were applied to the side. Because the person had documented the legitimate source of monetary means, a 25% ban on the undeclared amount was imposed, while the rest returned to the owners, in line with the procedures and legal provisions in force”.
Kosovo customs recalled that any physical person who enters or leaves the territory of the Republic of Kosovo with monetary means worth 10,000 euros or more (or their countervalue in other currency or negotiating instruments) has the legal obligation to declare them to customs authorities.
Inaccuracies or incorrect statements constitute wrongdoing and bring legal consequences, including the temporary ban or seizure of part of the monetary means, under legislation in effect.
