Russia bans meat imports from Montenegro on suspicion of smuggling from EU

Meat product deliveries from Montenegro have risen significantly lately, in volumes which the country could not produce by itself, assistant to the Rosselkhoznadzor head Alexey Alexeyenko said.

The Russian agricultural watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor has banned the imports of meat products from Montenegro over suspected attempts to smuggle products from the EU, assistant to the Rosselkhoznadzor head Alexey Alexeyenko said on Tuesday.  “Illegal re-exports of meat products from European Union countries are the main cause for the ban,” he said. “Meat product deliveries from Montenegro have risen significantly lately, in volumes which the country could not produce by itself,” the assistant to the Rosselkhoznadzor head said.
