Following the opening of the plum processing facility at the Intema factory in Osecina Dinkic told the press that there will be no tax increases or salary and pension cuts because the IMF has accepted the government’s public administration reform strategy.
He said that by reducing the number of employees in public administration the state will remove some of the burden from businesses, to which the IMF agreed.
However, we have a lot to do on this issue since we have to adopt a set of laws in order to fulfil the government’s strategy.
Dinkic noted that €2 million has been invested in the Intema factory, half of which was provided by the Serbian Development Fund through non-refundable aid, the SIEPA agency and the owner Ratko Beganovic, while the other half was secured by the Russian company SAKS from Moscow.
Last year Intema exported 1,400 tonnes of prunes to the Russian market, Beganovic said, specifying that this figure could be doubled.
Dinkic said that Serbia can only export plums to the Russian and European markets if it manages to organise the business well.
He also visited the Serbo-Austrian company Podgorina Frucht and together with Minister for the National Investment Plan Verica Kalanovic opened a 1.6 kilometre section of the Osecina–Donje Crniljevo regional road.
