Kosovo temporarily bans imports of live animals and pork from Serbia

Following the announcement confirming the outbreak of bluetongue and African swine fever (ASF) in Serbia, the Food and Veterinary Agency has imposed a temporary ban on the import of live cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs (pork products) from the entire territory of the Republic of Serbia to prevent the spread of the disease in our country.

The Veterinary and Food Agency has announced that the import of any pork product originating in Serbia is prohibited, even as food during travel.

Border authorities operating within the framework of Integrated Border Management, the Kosovo Police and customs must intensify control measures at all border crossings. This is intended to prevent the entry of live cattle, sheep, pigs, and pork products from Serbia into the country. Monitoring of passengers' personal luggage will also be intensified to prevent the entry of any pork products considered to be carriers of African swine fever. While the decision is in force, citizens are prohibited from crossing the border with any pork products originating in Serbia, not even as food during the journey.
