Changes to decrees on limitation of prices of basic foodstuffs, petroleum products adopted

Belgrade, 28 April 2022

The Serbian government adopted today changes and amendments to the Decree on Limitation of Prices of Basic Foodstuffs (crystal sugar in a package of one kilogram, wheat flour - type T 400 smooth in a package of up to five kilograms, including that of five kilograms, wheat flour – type T-500 in a package of up to five kilograms, including that of five kilograms, edible sunflower oil in a package of one litre and pork leg) with the aim of further protection of market, i.e. prevention of disturbances in the formation of prices of the above-mentioned goods, which are of extreme importance for the supply of citizens, especially the underprivileged.

The Decree will be in force for 60 days, from the day of its coming into effect.

The government adopted changes to the Decree on Limitation of Prices of Petroleum Products, which increases the average wholesale price of EURO DIESEL and EURO PREMIJUM BMB 95 in the territory of the Republic of Serbia by RSD 7 each.

This Decree will be in force from the day of its coming into effect, 29 April until 31 May this year.

Business entities selling motor and other fuels at stations for supply of vehicles are obliged to continue to deliver these petroleum products by pouring into propellant tanks of vehicles and cans for transport of petroleum products in a maximum amount of up to 60 litres.

Government members made a decision to temporary reduce the amount of excise duties on petroleum products by 15 percent from the published harmonised amounts on petroleum products – leaded gasoline, unleaded gasoline and gas oils, bearing in mind the current situation with the price of crude oil on the world market and its tendency of further growth, which is affecting negatively the macro economic stability of the country.

The government decided to pay one-off financial aid in the amount of RSD 10,000 to employees in pre-school institutions, given that their work required additional effort during the extraordinary circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The government adopted the Action Plan for the period from 2022 to 2024 for the implementation of the Waste Management Programme in the Republic of Serbia for the period from 2022 to 2031, which further improves the municipal waste management system through increased recycling rates, reduces biodegradable waste disposal to landfills, establishes a system of sustainable management of hazardous and industrial waste and increases the rate of collection, reuse and recycling of special waste flows.

Also, the Action Plan promotes more efficient use of resources, strengthens the capacity of institutions in the field of waste management and harmonises regulations with the EU acquis.
