At least 600 kilograms of frozen pork from NATO stocks are due to be sent to Serbia in the near future, according the Serbian newspaper Evening News. There's nothing new, of course, but for the fact that the pork dates back to 1982.

The Serbian newspaper Evening News reported about 600 kilograms of frozen pork is due to be delivered to Serbia from NATO stocks; there is nothing to write home about except for the fact that the pork was frozen back in 1982.

Serbia's Customs Administration is already on heightened alert, trying to do its best to prevent the pork from reaching the country's markets.

"All the customs services have been ordered to be on standby and especially focus on the checkpoints located near Serbia's border with Montenegro, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as the administrative border with Kosovo," the Customs Administration was quoted by the Evening News as saying.

The trouble is that the meat can be illegally transported to Serbia, especially thorough Kosovo, according to the newspaper.

The invasion of frozen thirty-four years old pigs was first reported by the web portal Agroservis, but the sources did not elaborate on who might be the customer for this frozen pork which is due to be delivered to Serbia via Montenegro's port of Bar, the Evening News said.

Meanwhile, social network users have said that frozen meat from US has been supplied to Bar over the past twenty years and that the product is then purchased by Serbian processing companies.

The price tag ranges between 50 euro cents and 1 euro per kilogram. However, digging too deeply "is dangerous for many reasons," according to comments on the Evening News' article.

In February 2016, Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic signed a confirmation of the country's cooperation plan with NATO, triggering a series of anti-NATO protests. Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said, however, that his country does not intend to join NATO as the country "zealously" adheres to neutrality.
