Kosovo customs officers have seized medicine intended for the Kosovo Serbs at the Merdare administrative boundary. The consignment was a donation from Jugoremedija to pupils at the Braca Aksic primary school in Lipljan. Kosovo customs seize medical consignment Despite being accompanied by all the required documentation showing that this was a donation and that customs need not be paid, the customs officials asked for an import permit issued by the Kosovo Medical Agency, according to officials at the school. “The medicine found in the bus did not have the proper documentation and was therefore held at the border, while further procedures are ongoing,” a Kosovo customs service spokesman told Beta. Zrenjanin-based Jugoremedija told Beta that the consignment included a thousand bottles of cough syrup and vitamin C that the company had donated to the children in Lipljan. Pupils from the school had been on a visit to Kikinda, and representatives from the company gave them the medicine on Sunday. According to Jugoremedija’s CEO Zdravko Deuric, the gift had been registered using the regular procedure with a declaration enclosed, something that had been done many times before, since the company ran its own permanent charity campaign. The syrup and vitamins had a value of some EUR 1,300. Kosovo customs have already held up medical supplies from Serbia at the administrative boundary on several occasions, citing a lack of the proper documentation.
