Kosovo rejects Serbian customs stamps proposals

Kosovo refuses to change its customs stamp in line with proposals recently outlined by Serbia.

Recent proposals circulating in Serbia to change the format of Kosovo’s custom stamp have been strongly rejected by Pristina.

The actual stamp reads “Kosovo Customs”, a formula which was changed from “UNMIK Customs” following the 2008 declaration of independence.

The options that were first published by Serb media, and then confirmed by Serb officials, suggested it should read “UNMIK Kosovo Customs” or “EULEX Kosovo Customs”.

Kosovo’s deputy Prime Minister, Mimoza Kusari-Lila, said that the options proposed for new stamps are not acceptable for Kosovo.
