Speaking at the press conference after the session Mihajlovic said that the Bill on games of chance was also adopted and that it will stipulate greater protection of underage persons and prevention of addiction to games of chance.
The bill will increase social responsibility and supervision in this field, and decrease the risks of malpractice, deception and money laundering, he explained and added that the bill will also regulate games of chance in telecommunications.
Mihajlovic said that the government adopted the Bill to confirm the Double taxation avoidance agreement between Serbia and Montenegro concerning income.
The Bill will significantly improve economic, financial and bilateral relations between the two countries, he highlighted.
Public relations coordinator Slobodan Homen stated that the government today adopted the Action plan for EU integration.
Homen announced that at the next session the government will examine in detail the report of the EC on Serbia’s progress in the process of European integration and its opinion on Serbia’s candidacy for the membership in the EU, and plan further steps in the process of European integration accordingly.
The problem raised by Hungary’s objections to certain provisions of the adopted Law on restitution and indemnification can be solved and the worst case scenario in which the Hungarian government will veto the EU’s decision to grant Serbia the candidate status in December will not come to fruition, he said.
The problems that can be solved must not be allowed to handicap Serbia on its EU path, he concluded.
