Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced that in seven to ten days he will present economic measures that, in his words, will reduce the "pressure of hyperinflation", BTA reported.
In a video message on his Instagram account yesterday, Vucic noted that whatever measures the state has presented so far, "those with huge incomes have always found a way to deceive both citizens and the state".
"This time they will not succeed, because we have figured out how to introduce real, long-term and short-term measures that will ensure a better standard of living for Serbian citizens, better conditions for our producers - those who work with large retail chains, as well as reduce the pressure of hyperinflation, which is causing problems for each of us," Vucic explained.
He gave the example that currently a bottle of oil costs about 200 dinars (3.34 leva) in Serbian stores, but if the state achieves what it intends, it will not cost more than 160 or 170 dinars (2.67-2.84 leva). Similar results will be seen for the prices of milk, sugar, sausages, coffee, potatoes, etc.
"These are our potatoes and the best variety is Ivanjica - 100 dinars (1.67 leva). I am sure that traders can make a profit even if it costs 80 or 85 dinars (1.33 leva), so that every family in Serbia can afford good, high-quality and the best European potato," the Serbian president said.
