State Secretary Zeljko Radosevic said that the Ministry’s Activity in the third quarter of 2017 was fruitful, while Bojan Zivkovic of the Directorate for Agrarian Payments said that the period was characterized by an operative conduct of the subsidy payment to agricultural producers.

He expects the competitions covering these measures to be called in December 2017 and that the national measure packages for agriculture would be ready.
