For<sup>starters, considerthattradestatistics</sup> of FR Yugoslavia do not include foreign trade transactions<sup>ofindependent customsareas-</sup> Montenegro and Kosovo. While we have no data for Montenegro, we have<sup>anestimateof</sup> Kosovo's total commercial imports in 2000 of around<sup>US$500million2 4.</sup> This estimate does not include trade with Serbia, as it went unreported. Nor does<sup>itincludeproductstransiting through</sup>

**24** This estimate is derived from the customs duty revenues (10 percent of the value of imports) corrected by the share of imports through Montenegro (derived<sup>fromtheshareof customsdutyrevenuecollectedat</sup> Tax Collection Point at the Montenegrin boundary of Kosovo).
