During his two-day visit to Austria, Minister Zivkov will meet on July 11 with Minister Proll and officials of the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture, with whom he will discuss possibilities of improving trade between Serbia and Austria, reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy within the framework of current negotiations with the World Trade Organisation, and possibilities of technical support by the Austrian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management to the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management for using pre-accession EU funds for new candidate countries.
