Glamočić: Dialogue with milk producers moving in the right direction, but import ban is impossible
Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management Dragan Glamočić stated today that he did not have high hopes for the talks with farmers, as he has been in agriculture for a long time and some associations present at the talks were unwilling to reach an agreement.
TL;DR
- Minister Glamočić believes the dialogue with farmers has initiated positively, despite some associations being unwilling to agree.
- He considers an import ban on all agricultural products impossible due to Serbia being a net exporter and potential retaliatory measures from other countries.
- Market regulation is partially acceptable, with ongoing inspections and a willingness to review import quotas if necessary.
- The ministry is offering assistance to small households struggling with milk procurement.
- Glamočić invites anyone with milk procurement issues to contact the Ministry of Agriculture.
- He is prepared to be held accountable, along with his associates, if any wrongdoing is found.
