Kosovo Customs announced that during 2025 it collected \u20ac1.968 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was said by the director of the institution, Agron Llugaliu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Llugaliu, at a press conference on Wednesday, said that this amount is \u20ac135 million more than in 2024 and \u20ac75 million more than the projection made at the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the last day of this year, we will reach \u20ac1.968 billion. This amount is \u20ac135 million more than the previous year and exceeds the projection by \u20ac75 million. We assess that several key factors have influenced the success in revenues, including overall economic growth, as well as the willingness of businesses to comply with the laws regarding tax payments. This is even more notable considering that nearly 98 percent of revenues are declared through voluntary declaration,\u201d <\/strong>he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Llugaliu also shared the trade balances for 2025, where Kosovo exported goods worth \u20ac929 million this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kosovo exported the most to Albania with \u20ac157 million, followed by North Macedonia with \u20ac136 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Kosovo imported the most from Germany in 2025, a total of \u20ac965 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExports up to December 21 are \u20ac929 million, compared to \u20ac942 million in the entire previous year. The main exports we had were Albania with \u20ac157 million, North Macedonia with \u20ac136 million, Germany \u20ac106 million, Switzerland \u20ac100 million, Serbia \u20ac60 million. As for imports, Germany leads with \u20ac965 million, Turkey \u20ac903 million, China \u20ac892 million, Italy \u20ac359 million, and North Macedonia \u20ac344 million,\u201d<\/strong> he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that Kosovo Customs has had continuous improvement in combating the informal economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCustoms has had continuous improvement in combating the informal economy, as we had \u20ac18.6 million worth of goods that were subject to detection, stopping, seizure, or confiscation. Also, through administrative actions, we have had a significant increase in the direct impact of fighting the informal economy. This year we reached \u20ac42 million, compared to \u20ac32 million in the previous year. Certainly, the northern part has long been an unresolved problem and has been used not only for smuggling but also for other forms of crime. We had cases of smuggling investigations and found that this area has also been used for human trafficking,\u201d <\/strong>he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the conference was also the acting Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati, who congratulated Kosovo Customs for positive performance, while noting that the country is approaching about \u20ac1 billion in exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the past five years, there has been a continuous exceeding of projections compared to what was projected at the beginning of the year regarding revenues collected by the end of the year. This shows continuous growth success, and this means that we also need to start adjusting our projections to the new pace of customs. Success was also seen regarding export growth. There is a clear trend over the past five years compared to the previous five years, where we are now approaching the figure of \u20ac1 billion,\u201d<\/strong> he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The products Kosovo exports the most are furniture, various plastic products, minerals, metals, beverages, and different food products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
