Trade Ministry to allow drug price increases
Belgrade,
28 November 2008
Minister of Minister of Trade and Services Slobodan Milosavljevic announced that the Ministry will allow the increase of drug prices by the end of the year.
Milosavljevic told Vecernje Novosti daily that the price increase of medicaments is justified due to the growth of the euro against the dinar.
He expressed assurance that oil derivatives and gas will reduce in price at the end of this and at the beginning of next year.

Social benefits will be among government priorities in 2009, he announced.
The growth rate will inevitably drop next year, he said.
Speaking about the budget for 2009, the Minister said it will be an "anti-crisis" budget but added that the government will not limit developmental projects.
