In order to ensure the necessary amount of energy for the needs of the economy and citizens and the upcoming heating season, the government made a decision to provide suppliers with the right to compensation for the difference in the price of imported natural gas and the price of imported natural gas that was used to calculate the price for further sales to suppliers, public suppliers and end customers for November 2021, as well as the right to compensation for the difference in the current price of natural gas produced in Serbia compared to the same month last year.

The regulation also prescribes the maximum producer and retail price of fresh chicken and white crystal sugar.
