Belgrade/Skopje, 20 August 2019

A delegation of the Republic of Serbia today signed five protocols in Skopje regarding the implementation of the Joint Control Agreement at the Presevo-Tabanovce crossing, whose implementation should begin in less than a week.

Deputy Director of the Customs Directorate of the Ministry of Finance Veselin Milosevic and Director of the Customs Administration of North Macedonia Djoko Tanasoski signed the protocol which, within the framework of the said agreement regulates more precisely all issues related to common customs control, both in passenger and freight traffic.

For passengers and freighters traveling from Serbia to North Macedonia, the Serbian border services will carry out exit controls in the territory of Northern Macedonia at the Tabanovce border crossing.

The protocol stipulates that for those traveling from North Macedonia to Serbia, exit control of the Macedonian border services will be carried out in the territory of Serbia, at the Presevo border crossing.

During the meetings of the two delegations, it was stated that Serbia and North Macedonia are strategically linked, and that an Agreement on Mutual Recognition of the Status of Authorised Economic Entity will be signed as early as 26 August.

In the capital of North Macedonia, a protocol was signed between the two countries' interior ministries on how to conduct border checks.
