Pristina recently increased the said taxes by 100 percent, prompting Belgrade to demand their abolishing before the EU-mediated Kosovo dialogue can continue.
According to the report, cited on Tuesday by Serbia's public broadcaster RTS, Hahn has made "a concrete offer" ahead of today's meeting between the Kosovo Assembly president and the president with the US ambassador in Pristina.
The reportedly includes "the removal of the word UNMIK (UN mission in Kosovo) from the CEFTA agreement" as well as "re-negotiation of trade relations between the parties involved and the settlement of vehicle registration disputes."
In recent days, pressure has been rising, primarily from the US, on Pristina to abolish the trade barriers put in place in November.
Kosovo officials continue to state that the requirement for the cancellation of these taxes is Serbia's "recognition of Kosovo."
The choice is yours.

Dear Albo the topic was Hahn offered to do a deal, although I doubt that one, and the deal involved removing the words UN from UNMIK and IO said that was a BS Albo story since the EU is not the United Nations and NOTHING else.
(sj, 24 January 2019 11:13)
Well, where are the Serbians that were saying that EU and USA will make Kosova lift the taxes or that USA will impose sanctions in Kosova if they don't lift the taxes??
I guess you misunderstood the partnership that USA has with Kosova! Kosova and USA collaborate together on everything!!

Well my little fake Italian Albo what does UNMIK have to do with ICTY or the topic at hand? Its always handy to know when you have nothing to say to keep your mouth shut.
(sj, 23 January 2019 13:16)
Finally a good question coming from you! Hope is not a fluke!
When it suits your argument, you decide to give wait to UN's decisions and its bodies and when it comes to 1000 years of prison time given to the Serbs for their contribution to inhumanity by ICTY - established by the same UN - you always water down the credibility or the significance of the UN.
Well, my little sj, what do the tariffs have to do with UN and is UN important or not!?
If you say that the UN is important then you have accepted that Serbs are the neighbours from hell and if you decide that the UN is not important then you prove that Serbs are, well, the neighbours from hell.
The choice is yours.

I bet this offer came from Belgrade. They know Unmik and 1244 is a joke. They want to get something in return for giving up nothing.

This is a 100% pure BS story because the UN in UNMIK stands for United Nations not European Union and it would need UN approval to have it removed. More Albo diatribe.

Tom? What a weak statement... Pristina has drawn a line in the sand it can’t erase, it’s not Serbia crying, it the EU trying to clean this up for a fake statlet. Give your head a shake
Azir, the worst kind of self pining, uneducated lot. For all the ignorant racist posts I’ve read from you, your living in the 90s, Serbia has paid for there crimes, MOVE ON, get a life and take responsibility for your actions. For someone who has described the Serbs as eternal victims, you seem to have a severe victim complex.

Hahn can promise them what he wishes but it does not make it valid - especially given the constraint of UNMIK undersigning all and everything upon which the EU and EULEX is based upon.
Is Hahn suggesting he has UN approval ? Irrespective if the muppets/puppets are duped who cares just shows they up all the more for the Muppet/puppets they have become.
Haradinaj/Thaci your puppet masters are dictating and you best beLIEve their words - go on get on and rescind the taxes, now there a good Muppet!
Oh what a tangled EU-US web we weave...
Will Haradinaj resign ?....

So apparent that you the Serbs are desperate to remove these tariffs but the drive to confined self-harm also known as "Srpski inat" is not allowing you to be seen on your knees begging the Albanians directly hence you gladly kneel before the Europeans to act on your behalf to beg the Albanians to remove the tariffs - and that's what Hahn is doing.
You Serbs have just invented the proxy-begging. Feel free to apply for patent.

Ignorant Slav claims tariffs are pathetic and useless but at the same time his regime is in a panic about the millions in profits lost from not selling Serb products to these “backward terrorists “...
Why are the Serbs crying to US,EU and others over Kosova’s ban!?
Looks like serbs need our market more than we need your products....
Go sell your crap to Russia ,China and the poor small African countries you’re bribing to revoke recognition !
As a consumer and customer of products we have options and why would anyone having suffered so much continue to financially support or give our business to a regime that not only operated as a Criminal enterprise but refuses to recognize the victims identity and rights ?!
I suggest all victims of Greater Serbia boycott and ban Serb products!
Hit them where it hurts .....
War restitution is next .
(Azir, 22 January 2019 16:59)
Why is Hahn negotiating with these backward terrorists?
NO removal of the word UNMIK!
Nothing changes!
The albos can keep your pathetic and useless tariffs!
All these tariffs do is weaken Kosovo’s position and is making your former allies into your enemies.
Whilst at the same time, it strengthens Serbia on the world stage.
Please keep your tariffs! In fact, increase them!
You are doing Serbia a BIG favor!
