A reportedly tense meeting of the Kosovo leadership on Thursday between the Prime Minister, President, the Speaker and the US ambassador ended without agreement on the controversial tax on Serbian imports.

After meeting Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, Parliament Speaker Kadri Vejseli, and the US ambassador to Pristina, Philip Kosnett, Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj on Thursday defended the high tax imposed on Serbian imports as a “sovereign decision of the government”.

Haradinaj said his interlocutors had told him that revoking the tax would aid continuation of the stalled EU-led dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.
