Any attempt at selling food, fruits and vegetables from the EU to Russia via Serbia will be prevented, said Serbian Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications Rasim Ljajic.
Moscow's decision to impose a year-long ban on fruit, vegetable and other food imports from the EU led to various calculations, announcements and even talks on importing, for example, apples from Macedonia and Bulgaria and then re-exporting them via Serbia to the Russian market, said Ljajic.
We cannot let that happen, because it would jeopardize Serbia's entire exports to Russia. To prevent such actions, our customs services will increase their activity and the producers or exporters who try to cheat their way to profit will be severely punished, Ljajic said for the Monday edition of Belgrade-based daily Blic.
Foreign nationals are free to start companies in Serbia and export goods to Russia, but those goods must be made in Serbia, he stressed, tanjung repots.- Oculus News
