Kosovo Customs Earnings Rise Despite SAA (Balkan Insight)
The Stabilisation and Association Agreement, SAA, with the EU has cost Kosovo customs 5 million euros in revenues.
The agreement entered in force on April 1 after being signed in October 2015. Much of it concerns scrapping customs tariffs on a range of products.
The director of customs, Lulzim Rafuna, on Monday said that up until June 24, the impact of the free trade deal had been a loss of 4,955,061 euros due to removed or reduced fees on goods entering from the EU.
