Serbia's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić announced additional subsidies for milk purchasers until 2026, aiming to support the dairy sector during challenging economic conditions. The measure is part of a broader effort to stabilize agricultural production and ensure food security. According to local media, the subsidies will be distributed to dairy farmers and cooperatives to help them cover rising costs and maintain production levels.

The decision comes amid growing concerns over inflation and the impact of global market fluctuations on domestic agriculture. Vučić emphasized the importance of supporting rural communities and maintaining the country's self-sufficiency in essential food products. The government has also pledged to monitor the implementation of the subsidies to ensure they reach the intended beneficiaries effectively.

The announcement was made during a meeting with agricultural sector representatives, where Vučić reiterated his commitment to economic stability and rural development. The subsidies are expected to be phased in over the next few months, with details on eligibility and application procedures to be released soon. (danas.rs)
