In Kni\u0107 alone, about four tons of milk were spilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than a hundred tractors are at the blockade on the Ibar, and a large number of them are also in Kni\u0107, our reporters state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is planned, say the milk producers at the protest in Mr\u010dajevci, for the blockade to last from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., although it is not excluded that, if the farmers decide otherwise, the blockade will be permanent until calls arrive from the Government of Serbia\u2014not the Minister of Agriculture, but the Government of Serbia\u2014because the agony in milk production has not lasted for weeks, but for months and years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported by the Nova reporter for N1, in this region the milk buyout price has been returned to 2013 levels and ranges from 25 to 34 dinars, while some dairies have even stopped buying milk due to large imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">Protest mlekara.
