BELGRADE -- Serbia will request reaction from the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) to Priština's decision to ban import of goods from central Serbia.
This is according to Serbian Minister of Trade and Agriculture Dusan Petrović, who spoke late on Thursday.
Pointing out that the introduction of the embargo represents a serious violation of a very important international trade agreement, Petrović added that Serbia will request a clear and suitable diplomatic action from the EU as well.
Recalling that the Ministry of Economy has already protested over the violation of the CEFTA agreement, whose signatories are the state of Serbia and UNMIK, Petrović announced Serbia's diplomatic action.
He told the B92 TV that Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić was in that respect "assigned a task by the prime minister," and stressed that Serbia will use every opportunity allowed by the international agreements, but will not do anything that would make the situation more difficult.
Petrović told Serb residents in Kosovo and Metohija that the government will do its best to resolve the problem created by the decision of Priština, which on Thursday imposed embargo on import of goods from central Serbia.
Serbia strictly adheres to the CEFTA agreement and requests from others to do the same, Petrović said, reiterating that the agreement "clearly states that UNMIK's seal is the one that counts, rather than the seal of the Kosovo customs office".
