FENA Muhamed Hadžibegić

SARAJEVO, November 18 (FENA) - Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of BiH Staša Košarac announced today in Sarajevo that it is necessary to introduce protective measures for domestic agricultural production in the coming period.

After a meeting with representatives of the entity associations of farmers, Košarac said that he expects that there will be understanding for such measures among those who will follow them due to the expressed need to protect domestic production.

“I am convinced that we have the capacity to initiate the procedure of introducing protective measures in accordance with the signed agreements on the SAA, CEFTA, EFTA and the rules of the World Trade Organization,” said Košarac.

Since there are significant surpluses of pork and beef in BiH, Košarac pointed out that in the coming days he will appeal to meat processors to buy the primary production in BiH.

“There must be solidarity, but also from the aspect of valuing labor and production, it must be at real market prices,” said Košarac.

He added that he believes there will be no need to introduce safeguards if BiH meat processors buy existing surpluses.

President of the Association of Agricultural Producers of RS, Stojan Marinković, said that it was stated at the meeting that market surpluses exist and that it is necessary to introduce protective measures, and the relevant ministry will determine what they will be in the next period.
