Pristina has lifted the ban on products that are placed on the market in Kosovo from central Serbia. This measure applies only to the administrative point of Merdara, and it comes only a few days after the warning of the German diplomat to the Kosovo authorities
Ministry of Internal Affairs in Pristina lifted the ban on products that are placed on the market from central Serbia KiM, broadcast by the media in Albanian.
The lifting of the ban on Serbian goods will only apply to the administrative point of Merdara. Prohibition measures remain in force at other checkpoints with central Serbia, it says RTS.
The new decision, which was forwarded to the competent institutions by the Minister of Internal Affairs Dželjalj Svečlja, implies that the ban on the import of these products will be replaced by a detailed control of trucks entering from central Serbia.
Prohibition measures remain in force at other checkpoints with central Serbia.
Fifteen months of ban
Pristina banned the import of goods from central Serbia after members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia arrested three police officers of Albanian nationality in June last year, because, as it was announced at the time, they illegally crossed the administrative line.
The government in Pristina announced at the time that it suspected that weapons were being transported to Kosovo and Metohija in trucks with goods from central Serbia.
The security measure was then somewhat relaxed by allowing the placement of raw materials and semi-finished products from central Serbia, needed for final production in Kosovo and Metohija.
The German diplomat demanded the lifting of the ban
Germany's special envoy for the Western Balkans, Manuel Zaracin, said that such a decision threatens the European future of Kosovo.
A week ago, the German diplomat visited Kosovo and Metohija twice within eight days, with the aim of adequate preparation for the Berlin process and regional cooperation, and he also met with Kurti.
The German diplomat insisted that Kosovo suspend the decision to ban the entry of Serbian goods into the Serbian southern province. Zaracin confirmed that during both visits to Pristina, he received a negative response from Kurti to the request for a compromise within CEFTA - the Free Trade Agreement.
In a recent interview with Radio-Television of Kosovo, RTK, a German diplomat mentioned the consequences that Pristina could face if it did not act in accordance with the German advice on CEFTI, noting that some people in Brussels told him that if Kosovo blocks CEFTA, it will be very difficult to join the EU Growth Plan.
"You can only block yourself, not others," Zaracin told the Kosovo authorities.
A group of 135 regime journalists signed under the advertisement in "Informer" calling for the establishment of a new association - "Association of Journalists of Serbia" (ANS).
The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, boasted that he would write the world bestseller "How I Defeated the Colored Revolution" by June 28. On this occasion, the students in the blockade invite all citizens to gather in Belgrade for Vidovdan and celebrate Vučić's victory over them.
Journalist associations condemned the dismissal of journalist Marija Šehić and accused the management of "Juronjuz" of collapsing professional standards, concealing information and ignoring the union's demands.
Although the opposition claims that a person who was not on the voter's list voted, the Kosjerić MEC did not see a reason to cancel the election.
In a public appeal, 25 members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts accuse the President of Serbia of collapsing institutions, the media, the judiciary and the basic pillars of society.
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
