| Vërmica customs checkpoint |
At the beginning of April at the border crossing point Vermice-Morine the Kosovo Customs with that of Albania will share a single administration.
That of Kosovo will pass to the Albanian one.This merger is being done to ease the customs procedures of these two countries.
According to Prime Minister Edi Rama's Adviser, Lulzim Rafuna, the procedures for this unification have been completed.
Even the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce supports this idea, but they say that the cooperation on both sides, not just Kosovo's engagement, is needed.
While the European Union had said there could not be only a checkpoint for citizens, last year, former Prime Minister Isa Mustafa and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama agreed to deploy the police of both countries in a single office. This, however, has not yet happened.
The border crossing point in Vermica is among the most frequented, especially during the weekend and the Summer Season.
