Caretaker Government said that during a meeting on Saturday they have decided to extend reciprocal measures with Serbia. To Albin Kurti’s caretaker Government decision has reacted the EU special representative on Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Lajcak said that he is disappointed with the Decision and called on the Kosovo Government to immediately remove it. He said such actions undermine resumption of the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade.

“Disappointed about new reciprocity measures introduced by care-taker government of Kosovo. Such unilateral actions undermine the Dialogue-resumption and should be removed immediately. As consistently said, we expect both parties to the Dialogue to implement and respect past agreements,” Lajcak said.

Kosovo’s Government with its new decision prohibits use of documents on import of agricultural and industrial products that use the names of countries containing other elements contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo.

According to the Government’s statement the Food and Veterinary Agency of Kosovo is obliged to use the emblem and the name Republic of Kosovo in phytosanitary and veterinary certificates, while economic operators from Serbia must be provided with an entry permit for each vehicle transporting goods entering the Republic of Kosovo from the Liaison Office of the Republic of Kosovo in Serbia. /GazetaExpress/
