A group of farmers in Ra\u010da Kragujeva\u010dka blocked Kara\u0111or\u0111eva Street in that town early this morning, and then entered the Municipality building. They announced that they will not leave it until their demands are met. The President of the Municipality, Branko Radosavljevi\u0107, claims that they have addressed the Ministry of Finance to find a solution.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers have been protesting <\/a>in Ra\u010da since January 30th and are demanding the return of property tax to the 2024 level, as the new one has been increased by 60 percent, as well as the resignations of the entire municipal leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, the farmers’ protest began in Ra\u010da Kragujeva\u010dka. The president of the Movement of Farmers of Serbia<\/a>, Milan Milo\u0161evi\u0107, told Nova television that they will be in the Ra\u010da Municipality building for the next few days, after which they will decide on further radicalization of the protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have been on the street for sixteen days, this is our house, our building. We will stay in the Municipality building until further notice and we will not leave it until our demands are answered. We will stay there until the demands are met. We will be there, in warm rooms. They receive salaries from our taxes and contributions and we demand that they do their job, which has not been the practice so far. We will stay here until the end,” Milo\u0161evi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He announced that they will stay in the municipality building for a few days, after which they will decide how to radicalize the protest. They will ask the inspections to check the work of the municipal bodies and “will not leave until everything is sorted out and cleared up”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the municipal authorities must understand “that they live off the farmers, that they receive salaries from their contributions and payments”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are simply asking them to do their job\u2026 We will not sit still, we will radicalize if necessary,” Milo\u0161evi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
