Starting from today, businesses will not have to undergo procedures that
last for days while crossing their goods in the Albania-Kosovo border.
The application of the joint transit makes it possible for transit goods to go from Albania to Kosovo customs by reducing the time of stay and cost.
“If a truck comes loaded on a ship from Durres to Kosovo, first they had to undergo a series of transit procedures. Now goods with come from the Durres customs or from anywhere in Albania and the procedure will not last for more than five minutes”, declared the General Customs Director, Elisa Spiropali.
Businesses will have a lower cost to circulate goods between Kosovo and Albania”, declared Lulzim Rafuna, Director of the Kosovo Customs.
Another problematic matter noted this summer is the long hours wait of Kosovo citizens who want to enter Albania.
“Queues in the Morina-Vermica border checkopints are not unusual, especially during summer. We are working to make procedures easier”, Spiropali declared.
The Customs Directors of Albania and Kosovo signed an agreement for building a joint terminal financed by the European Union delegation.
