At a press conference following the government session, Dragin said that should such things transpire, the decision will be made to react accordingly and in line with the action plan. He added that the possibility that Serbia revokes ambassadors from those countries is not excluded and added that this will be only one of the possible measures.
The Minister said that the government today also discussed the impact of the global financial crisis on the Serbian market and concluded that the National Bank of Serbia and the Ministry of Finance will take all the necessary measures to alleviate the effect of the crisis on macroeconomic movements in the country.
Dragin said that the government adopted several bills at today’s session, including the bill on fruit brandy and other alcoholic beverages, according to which private production will be possible but only for personal use, and not for commercial purposes.
He added that the bill was prepared according to EU standards.
According to Dragin, a proposed strategy for regulatory reforms for the period 2008–2011 was adopted, as well as amendments that will extend the period within which fruit producers can use their right to financial incentives by the Agriculture Ministry.
Dragin added that parities for exchange of crop for mineral fertilisers during the autumn harvest were approved, while the Commodity Reserves Directorate will continue to work according to parities valid until now in cases of signed contracts.
