Brussels' block for Pristina! You won't make a single step towards the EU unless you abolish the taxes for Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina

Pristina will not be able to make any further steps towards the EU if it does not abolish the taxes towards Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to well-informed sources from the European Commission, Novosti reports, and they emphasize that the pillars of the entire process of binding were demolished with the illogical customs.

- European integrations are based on regional cooperation, good neighborly relations and reconciliation - they point out from the top of the administration in the process of accession.

Also, the issue of visas, which is of great importance to Pristina, in this stadium, is going under the jurisdiction of the European Council and the Member states, not the European commision. But all of this together does not give room for further progress in integration, and the EU will, as we learn, take into account the overall situation arising from insisting on high customs.

- Our position is clear when it comes to taxes. The decision of the government of Kosovo to increase the taxes on the goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to 100 percent is a clear violation of the Central European Free Trade Agreement and the spirit of the Stabilization and Association Agreement between the EU and Kosovo - said spokeswoman High Representative Maja Kocijancic.

Co-chairman of the Kosovo Delegation Shpend Ahmeti confirmed that Brussels is warning Kosovo, and he said that Mogherini asked the abolishment of taxes in their meeting on January 8th, as well as the finalization of the dialogue with Belgrade until June.

In connection with the continuation of the dialogue, the source of "Novosti" points out that the EU expects an answer to the proposal of the commissioner Johannes Hahn for the negotiations on the extension to organize a meeting between Brussels, Belgrade, and Pristina, where a solution should be found for the taxes in the context of the dialogue that is being facilitated by Federica Mogherini.

- The European Union expects Serbia and Kosovo to rapidly fulfill their obligations on the commitment to dialogue, given the direct link between a comprehensive normalization of relations and concrete prospects for their aspirations towards the EU and benefits for citizens - Kocijancic said in the diplomatic language.

The High Representative recently welcomed a new Pristina negotiating team, but the goal of Brussels, according to our sources, is to hold the talks at the highest level between Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and the president of the Pristina provisional institutions, Hashim Thaci.
