Government organises purchase of products of Serbian agricultural producers from Kosovo
Belgrade,
1 February 2008
Minister without Portfolio in Charge of Coordinating the National Investment Plan Dragan Djilas said that the Serbian government adopted the proposal that the state organise the purchase and sale of agricultural products of Serbian producers in Kosovo-Metohija in order to help them survive economically in the province.
Djilas told the Tanjug news agency that, with the consent of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija, the Serbian government adopted that proposal in order to enable Serbian agricultural producers in Kosovo-Metohija to secure the sale of their products.
He said that along with security issues and economic instability, one of the biggest problems in Kosovo-Metohija is unemployment, and added that these are the reasons why he presented this project, which the government has agreed to carry out.
During the upcoming few months it is planned that a company, preferably state owned, should be selected to buy up the agricultural produce, or a new company might be formed for this purpose, said Djilas.
The Minister said that transporting agricultural produce from the enclaves will be a problem, but the state will make sure that people living in Kosovo-Metohija are able to sell their products.
