EU Spokesperson, Maja Kocijancic said today that stance of Brussels regarding increased Kosovo taxes for the goods from central Serbia “is clear and consistent.” The EU “clearly expects” Pristina to revoke the measures and “both sides” to show restraint from provocations, Tanjug news agency reported.

Kocijancic also rejected all the comments from Pristina, alleging that the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini is “biased,” that she “criticizes Kosovo only” and “never criticizes Serbia” in the context of violating agreements reached within the normalization of relations dialogue.

“Reaction of Kosovo authorities in this context is simply not a right way. There are ways on how to resolve these issues and these channels should be used,” Kocijancic noted.

“The latest actions, measures and statements from Kosovo and Serbia, that other side understood as provocations and insults are disturbing, not conducive for dialogue and normalization of relations. Also, it undermines all what the parties have reached during the years of dialogue,” Kocijancic underlined.
