Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina stopped application of duties on products from Serbia and Croatia

The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has passed a temporary measure that discontinues application of the Law on protection of local production, which introduced duties on products from Croatia and Serbia, until final decision is made by the Court.

Federal Television (FTV) announced that the Constitutional Court had accepted the request of the Chairman of the House of Representatives of the Parliamentarian Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ilija Filipović, who had suggested that the temporary measure should be introduced to discontinue application of the Law on protection of local production within the scope of the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA).

The Law on protection of local production stipulates full duties on import of agricultural products from Croatia and Serbia.

These duties concern meat products and milk, fruits and vegetables, drinks and alcohol, and few more products that are imported from neighboring countries free of duty.
