Feith backs establishment of customs

KOSOVO

EU representative in Kosovo Pieter Feith says he supports the establishment of full EULEX customs control across Kosovo.

A statement from his cabinet on Friday in Priština said that this included the EU mission’s activities to establish control over customs points of Jarinje and Brnjak, in the north of Kosovo – referred to as Gates 1 and 31.

“EULEX wants to make sure that Kosovo becomes a unique customs territory,” Feith said.

“EULEX helps Kosovo authorities to introduce customs control and efficiently collect tax revenues in the whole of Kosovo, in accordance with the EU standards and best practices,” Feith pointed out in the statement.
