Srpska Lista: Customs unification unacceptable (Radio kontakt plus)

A customs unification between Pristina and Tirana represents a clear manifestation of a so-called “great-Albanian politics,” Srpska Lista said in a press statement, adding it reconfirms the necessity for an urgent meeting between Srpska Lista and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Radio kontakt plus reported.

Srpska Lista also said the customs unification is unacceptable and represents a product of a political violence in the Assembly of Kosovo.
