In an interview with the Beta news agency, Milosavljevic said that one part of the funds will be allocated for social care and pension increases and another for science and education.
As the branding of Serbia will be continued with lower funds we cannot expect much progress, said the Minister.
Milosavljevic stressed that the Ministry will try to find additional funds to help the project, adding that funds for other important projects have also been considerably decreased.
We all have to carry the burden of the upcoming financial crisis and should invest much more in the presentation of Serbia at various events and fairs in order to increase our competitiveness.
