Kurti: No trade measures against Serbia, only security measures

“We cannot open the border at all border crossings until we get the scanners that we want to purchase, and which were promised to us by the Europeans and the Americans. We have opened one border crossing, Merdare, where the customs terminal is only 300 meters away from the border crossing, and where goods are allowed

to pass] but with added controls. This is a security measure and in no way a trade measure as some have tried to present it,” Kurti added.

Kurti also argued that the European Union’s measures against Kosovo were unfair and are even becoming absurd.

“We repeatedly ask for the penalty measures against Kosovo, which were imposed last June, to be lifted. The measures were never fair and now they have even become absurd because even the outgoing EU High Representative and Vice President of the European Commission has sent a letter to the 27 member states saying that the measures should be removed,” said Kosovo’s prime minister.
