Students joined the blockade to support milk producers<\/strong>, who for the second day are protesting on the Ibarska Highway near Mr\u010dajevci<\/strong>. They are calling on all farmers and citizens to join the dairy farmers and show their support through their presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a reporter from Nova TV<\/strong>, the blockade is still ongoing. Emergency vehicles are being allowed through<\/strong>, and students arrived around 6 a.m.<\/strong> to join the protest. Currently, other farmers and citizens are present, bringing coffee and tea<\/strong> to the dairy producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protesting farmers are determined to continue their fight for higher milk prices<\/strong>. They point out that milk prices used to reach 80 dinars per liter<\/strong>, but now are only 25 dinars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also note a drop in pork prices<\/strong>, making it impossible to earn a profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The night passed peacefully, it was cold, but we have to fight. Imagine not feeding a cow, just to get milk for 20 dinars\u2014what\u2019s the point, why are we working? If nothing changes, there is no life here. We\u2019ve become street people in this country,”<\/em> said Boban<\/strong>, one of the farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding agreements with government representatives, he emphasized that the signatures were obtained while Tanaskovi\u0107 was minister<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Back then, things were slightly improving. But when Martinovi\u0107 came, and then the next one, everything got worse. Our people struggle, can\u2019t pay their taxes, while imports continue unchecked. The import lobby caused all of this. We never had a milk surplus\u2014if milk and cheese weren\u2019t imported, this wouldn\u2019t have happened. People need to think about what they are feeding their children. They eat cheeses with no milk in them. Twenty years ago, milk was this price, now everything is more expensive\u2014fuel, everything. It\u2019s very hard for us,”<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, dairy farmers will block the road near the village of Vitanovac<\/strong>, and a blockade in Bogati\u0107 is scheduled for 1 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demands of the dairy farmers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farmers are demanding from the Government of Serbia<\/strong>: protection of the domestic milk and meat market, introduction of tariffs and import quotas, quality and origin control of milk and dairy products at the border, restoration of purchase prices to previous levels, and guaranteed procurement from every producer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They warn that without immediate government action<\/strong>, many households will not survive, and the crisis in the dairy sector<\/strong> cannot be measured in days or weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blockade on the Ibarska Highway in Mr\u010dajevci<\/strong> was organized by the \u010ca\u010dak agricultural association \u201c\u0160ajka\u010da\u201d<\/strong> and the Kraljevo Milk Producers Association of \u0160umadija and Pomoravlje<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
