Fuel import from Serbia to re-start from 25 April (Klan Kosova)
Zef Deda, head of the Division for drafting trade policies, at the Ministry of Trade and Industry, told Klan Kosova that the agreement between Serbia and Kosovo was reached after 17 or 18 hours of discussions. “This agreement will become effective on 25 April and Kosovo importers will continue with their importing of fuel,” Deda said. “It is not very positive when we say that we are importing from Serbia, but it was important to resolve recognition of the ADR certificates. Last year, local importers imported up to the value of €26 million from Serbia,” Deda said. He added that if Serbia repeats its actions of blocking, reciprocity measures would be re-established immediately and Kosovo would orient toward other countries. Referring to the Serbian delegation at the discussions in Brussels, Deda said that “they used different justifications which were not true. But we pursued the legal way.”
