Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Tatjana Matic stated today, regarding the announcements from Pristina that they would introduce new measures on confectionery products from Serbia, that this decision has to do with politics rather than with the economy or commerce.
Q:
A:
New measures announced by Pristina in gross violation of CEFTA agreement
Belgrade,
18 November 2021
Matic said that the Serbian Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications will turn to institutions in Brussels, CEFTA Secretariat and the embassies of the member states of NATO Quint regarding these announcements.
CEFTA is the largest trade community that exists, and the announcement of such measures does not contribute to either the development of trade relations, nor to political dialogue in the Western Balkans, which Serbia stands for. We hope that this decision will not be made eventually, she stated.
However, if this decision is implemented, the mentioned trade barrier would be another in a series of examples of violations of the CEFTA Agreement and the obligations undertaken during the Brussels dialogue, according to Matic.
