18:48 BELGRADE, July 8 (Tanjug) - Serbian Finance Minister Bozidar Djelic said on Tuesday that "not an insignificant part of smuggling of cigarettes and other goods" was carried out through the territory of Kosovo-Metohija and that measures for fighting this should be taken in cooperation with Pristina.

harmonies their tax policy on excise products with the neighborhood.
