The customs administrations of Serbia and Croatia signed today an agreement on cooperation, thus creating the legal framework for exchange of data that will enable mutual assistance in the prevention and investigation of offences of customs, foreign currency and foreign trade regulations, as well as provision of data for the purpose of curbing smuggling.
The Serbian Customs Directorate stated that the agreement prescribes the way of providing and using information and documents, their use in possible court proceedings, participation of experts in these proceedings, as well as prevention of personal data that might appear in the exchanged data.
The statement adds that the agreement will come into force when procedures for its ratification are implemented in Serbia and Croatia in line with national legislations.
