FYR Macedonia: Kosovo treaty

In April, FYR Macedonia signed a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation with its newest neighboring state, Kosovo. The two countries have recently made steps toward boosting the cross-border economic cooperation, with multiple joint projects, activities as well as meetings between the chambers of commerce. In 2010, the total exchange between the two countries increased by 41% and FYR Macedonia's exports to Kosovo are estimated at a significant amount of $300 million.
