So what did Montenegro trade with Russia?

The question is quite sensible, and it occurs in the light of recent events quite often. The loud and beautiful word embargo makes it painfully wrinkle his forehead in vain attempts to continue the phrase. Now in Russia there will be no Montenegrin ... Montenegrin what?

What has Montenegro imported into the customs territory of the Russian Federation all these years and without which, in connection with the introduction of the food supply, the Russian consumer remained?

The first association is meat. Let a little, but some volumes were. True, the ban on the import of pork from Montenegro was introduced as a temporary measure in November 2014. At some point, experts Rosselkhoznadzor drew attention to the fact that the supply of meat products from Montenegro is constantly growing and carried out in volumes exceeding the historical capabilities of the country as a producer. After a series of inspections it was found that a significant proportion of Montenegrin meat is of Dutch and Polish origin. Simply put, the embargo on pork was introduced after the re-export of impersonal products. In the future, the ban was lifted, but restrictions on imports remained. Frozen meat products and wonderful national smoked products such as prosciutto Russia were imported (by the way, you can talk about Serbia more about the import of prsut), but the scope of deliveries was truly souvenir.

The second sector is Montenegrin wine. Here, the decline in the volume of supplies of alcoholic products from Montenegro is also associated with the year-to-year developments in the importers' market: Luding Trade, importing wines from Montenegro, lost its leadership in July, engaged in wines in fact the whole of the European Union. In the conditions of the pro -embargo, the main blow fell on Spain and France, and the first place is now occupied by the obscure supplier from Abkhazia, Mistral Alko.

The third area is fruits and vegetables, dried fruits from Montenegro. Here again, the word embargo sounds louder than all the consequences of imposing a ban combined. Fruit and vegetable products were destroyed for an amount not exceeding $ 50,000.

In other words, the scale of Montenegro's economic losses is estimated by Montenegro itself, but it can be assumed that the latest decision of the Russian Federation regarding the expansion of the embargo has not made any actual significant changes in the situation.
