Fake Apparel, Footwear Destroyed in Serbia

Over the past year, a representative from CWB office in Serbia co-organized and witnessed eight destructions of a total of 230,000 items, including T-shirts, tracksuits, sneakers, jackets, vests, and socks, found to infringe the Nike®, Converse®, FC Barcelona®, DSquared2®, Hasbro®, Moschino® and other trademarks.

The fake goods were seized in various stores and outlets across Serbia over the past several years by Serbia’s Market Inspectorate authorities. The items were destroyed at the Market Inspectorate’s warehouse in Belgrade, using a machine donated by the EU, and were then disposed of at Belgrade’s city landfill.
