Kosovo, Pristina -
Kosovo public broadcaster RTK reported yesterday that the food aid sent to the Kosovo Serbs by Russia is potentially expired. The food, which is mostly tin cans of fish and other meets show origin markings of the Russian emergency food supplies while the printed production dates show March 2005 with a use time of two years. The expiration period however has been extended to five years with pencil.

Nevertheless, the Kosovo Customs, which is still controlled by UNMIK, has allowed the food to enter Kosovo with the destination ethnicly Serb communities in Gracanica and Strpce. The aid became a political issue in Kosovo when Russia announced initially that it would try to bypass Kosovo authorities in bringing the food in Kosovo.
