TIRANA (Reuters) – Kosovo on Wednesday raised customs tariffs on Serbian and Bosnian goods from 10 to 100 percent after Serbia blocked its former province from joining Interpol, the international police organization.
Its retaliation, which was criticized by the European Union, also required authorities to remove or prevent from entering any goods that did not address Kosovo by its constitutional name, Republic of Kosovo, which Serbia and Bosnia do not recognize.
“This will halt any trade between Serbia and Kosovo,” Serbia’s Trade Minister Rasim Ljajic said.
President Aleksandar Vucic called a meeting of Serbia’s National Security Council to review the tariffs.
