Radio Television Serbia reports that Adriatik Stavileci, Kosovo customs spokesman told the media in Pristina that Kosovo Customs Service has begun to apply the decision of the Kosovo government on additional taxation of 10 percent for imports of products from central Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Stavileci say that this is a volume of goods worth hundreds of millions of euros during the year.

The Kosovo Assembly’s Committee for Economic Development adopted today in the first reading the draft law on the Trepca mining complex, which will be discussed at the plenary assembly session on Friday. Serbian List representative, Sasa Milosavljevic, said Serb MPs would not vote in favour of the draft law in its current content. He also criticised the government for not inviting Serb representatives to attend discussions on the draft law.

Kosovo’s customs authorities told Radio Free Europe that they have sent back a truck traveling  from Serbia to Kosovo. Adriatik Stavileci, spokesman for the Kosovo Customs, said this comes as a result of a decision made by Kosovo authorities to introduce reciprocity measures against Serbia on oil and gas transport. “Yesterday at the border crossing point in Merdare we have sent back the first truck that was traveling from Serbia to Kosovo,” Stavileci said.
