BELGRADE (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 22nd November, 2018) Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has urged Kosovo to drop steep customs duties on imports that he said was a "de facto ban on trade."
The unrecognized republic hiked tariffs from 10 percent to 100 percent on Wednesday and stopped imports of goods that are not marked with its national symbols.
"I ask you to revoke your decision. We should sit down and agree a deal and compromise. You need to negotiate with us. Americans or anyone else won't help you," Vucic said.
The Serbian leader has ruled out responding in kind but warned Kosovo it could face a shortage of goods, including medicine, and a rise in consumer prices. He will meet with Kosovo Serb leaders on Thursday to discuss the move.
