Ljajic: If taxes are not lifted, dialogue remains frozen (Vecernje Novosti, Tanjug, TV Pink)

Serbian Minister of Trade and Telecommunications, Rasim Ljajic said it is not possible to predict further Pristina’s moves and whether it would revoke its decision on additional taxes for goods from central Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tanjug news agency reported. Ljajic noted there is a clear consensus among the international circles that taxes are unacceptable, and they have to be revoked. On the contrary, the entire process of normalization of Belgrade-Pristina relations remains frozen. “These economic measures are “par excellance” political measures and they froze the dialogue,” Ljajic said, adding in order to continue Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, the situation must return to the period before 10 percent taxes were introduced.
