More than a week after the introduction of a 10% tax increase on products from Serbia and Bosnia and Hercegovina, the Kosovo government made a decision to completely ban imports of some products from Serbia. Kosovo Trade and Industry Minister, Endrit Shala also made a decision that the trade inspection should not allow the import and sale of products imported into Kosovo with the inscription ‘’Kosovo and Metohija“, „Kosovo UNMIK“ or „Kosovo Resolution 1244“.

Trade inspection by the Ministry of Trade and Industry has found that some of Kosovo’s largest retail chains are selling goods with inscriptions which are contrary to the Constitution and laws of Kosovo.
