Kosovo experts demand immediate removal of US import tariff

Business

Economic experts in Kosovo are strongly demanding the immediate removal of the 10 percent tariff on imports from the United States, describing it as an unacceptable measure that is severely damaging strategic relations and the country’s economic development, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

Calling the tariff "unjustified and harmful," economic analysts told KosovaPress that the urgency to abolish it is not only economic but also political and geostrategic.

Economist Safet Gërxhaliu harshly criticizes Kosovo’s institutions for, as he says, a lack of vision and failure to advance economic and diplomatic processes.

He believes that the silence of Kosovo’s institutions and the lack of serious engagement to remove this tariff are increasingly isolating the country economically, politically, and geostrategically.
