Complaint to EC regarding ban on entry of goods from Serbia to Kosovo
Belgrade,
21 July 2011
Director of the Serbian government’s Office of Media Relations Milivoje Mihajlovic stated that the government examined at its session today the decision of Pristina to ban entry of goods from Serbia to Kosovo-Metohija and decided to warn the UN and the EU of its possible consequences.
Mihajlovic told a press conference held after the government session that the government will raise this issue before the European Commission (EC), which is the founder of CEFTA.
The Serbian government believes that interim government institutions in Pristina aim to devalue the meaning of dialogue on Kosovo with this decision, to cause insecurity among Serbian population and prevent every democratic attempt at solving problems in the southern province, he underlined.
Mihajlovic added that the government also stated that this decision is a unilateral act which severely contravenes the CEFTA agreement and disables normal supplies to the market of the southern Serbian province.
He also affirmed that Minister of Justice Snezana Malovic will sign the decision on the extradition of Hague indictee Goran Hadzic once the deadline for appeal expires.
Mihajlovic observed that at today’s session, the government adopted amendments to the Decree on the obligatory production and sale of T-500 flour bread, envisaging that the price of a loaf of T-500 flour bread cannot exceed RSD 45.97.
The decision was made based on the trends on the flour and bread market, Mihajlovic explained and specified that the new price is by 15% lower than the current price of bread.
