Kosovo decides to tax Bosnian products

The government of Kosovo said these measures mean the introduction of a 10 percent tax to all products originating from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.

The measures would be introduced to all products, including milk and dairy products, apples, hygiene products, textile, flour, construction materials, sweets, juices, drugs, water, alcohol, tobacco products, machines, etc., Kosovo’s Trade Minister Endrit Shala said.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj said that Serbia spends a lot of money lobbying against Kosovo and yet its budget is filled by the Kosovo citizens’ money through imports from this country.

He added that these measures are aimed at protecting domestic producers.

According to the government, the measures will exclude products made by international brands based in these two countries.
