The chairman of the farmers’ organization, Jovica Jaksic told the Agrosmart portal that Monday’s protests were a warning, adding that they would get more radical unless the problem of “enormously expensive fuel for farmers” is resolved. “We are waiting for a reply from the Agriculture Ministry and we expect a meeting with the agriculture and finance ministers.
