Reciprocity replaces 100 pct tariff

Under Saturday's decision, Kosovo's Food and Veterinary Agency is now obliged to use the emblem and name 'Republic of Kosovo' on all sanitary and veterinary certificates, while economic operators from Serbia must now obtain an entry permit from Kosovo's Liaison Office in Serbia for each vehicle transporting goods entering Kosovo.

The decision by the Kosovo government at the weekend to introduce new reciprocity measures against Serbia has sharply divided opinion at home and abroad, with the EU slating the move and some domestic leaders, including the President, also condemning it.

It will recommend either the removal or withholding of a one hundred percent tax on the import of Serbian goods, Gazeta Express reports.

Thorough inspection of the Macedonian market came after a super analysis in a EU reference laboratory confirmed the presence of GMO in soy and soy-based food.
