Serbian Minister of Finance, Sinisa Mali said the Kosovo Tax Administration was not admitted to Intra-European Organization of Tax Administrations (IOTA), RTS reports.

Mali noted “it is an excellent news for Serbia and yet another evidence that nothing can be done by force and without agreement with official Belgrade.”

Mali added according to IOTA Charter only states recognized by the United Nations can be members of IOTA.

IOTA is the organization that offers help and support to the member states in advancing their tax administrations. Serbia is a member of IOTA since 2002 and actively participates in its work, RTS said.
