EU 'concerned' about euro introduction among Serbs

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, FEB 1 - The European Union has taken note of the regulation issued by the Central Bank of Kosovo, which is set to take effect today, the EEAS announced today. The regulation aims to increase financial transparency, ensure financial stability, and combat money laundering and counterfeiting.
    The EU notes that the regulation will also have an impact on Serbia's financial support for Kosovo Serbs. "The EU is concerned about the consequences that this decision might have on the daily lives of Kosovo Serbs and other communities throughout Kosovo due to absence of prior consultation, in particular on its impact on schools and hospitals, given the apparent absence of alternatives at this moment," (ANSA).
