A part of farmers in Vojvodina and central Serbia started blocking main roads on Wednesday, since their requests have not been accepted, including the most important one that subsidies be paid per hectare.

Serbian parliament Speaker Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic Wednesday called on the disgruntled farmers blocking roads in Vojvodina to end the blockade and told them that their problems would be resolved by the future government.

After a meeting with farmers' representatives at the Serbian parliament building, Djukic-Dejanovic, who is presently serving as the acting president of the country, told Tanjug it was unrealistic to expect that the government would change the decree on subsidies 10 days before the parliamentary elections

.“Politics has entered into a number of families of the discontented farmers,” Djukic-Dejanovic told the farmers.

As Miroslav Ivkovic, one of the representatives of the farmers, told Tanjug, this time the farmers have decided to block important roads in the province and parts of central Serbia and not head for Belgrade in order to present their request to authorities like they did last month.

Ivkovic said that traffic will be blocked at about 80 places, more than 20 of which are in the central part of the country, and added that the farmers will allow passage of the ill, elderly, pregnant women, children, ambulance, military, police, firefighters and other emergencies.

He said that a delegation of dissatisfied farmers had a meeting in Novi Sad late Tuesday with Zoran Nenadovic, an official of the Ministry of Agriculture, who previously met with representatives of around ten associations of Vojvodina farmers and explained how the adopted policy of agrarian subsidies for this year will be realized.

President of the "Club 100 P plus" (100 farmers plus) Vojislav Malesev told Tanjug that the association has not joined the renewed protest of the part of Vojvodina's farmers.

Malesev believes that it is too late for protests and that they missed the opportunity late 2011, prior to the adoption of the agrarian budget and the announcement of new agrarian subsidies.

Miladin Sevarlic, the president of the Serbian Association of Agricultural Economists, told Tanjug that the goal of the new way of crop subsidizing per production is to avoid the increasing number of farms that may have abused subsidies per hectare.

The association of carriers Srbijatransport reacted to the announced protest late Tuesday by requesting to make it possible for carriers to provide their customers with regular bus transport.
