Farmer from the village of Klenje in Mačva he received a decision according to which his farm is placed in a three-year passive status.
Nemanja Lacković was given a passive status and because of this, he told Vreme, he will go on a hunger strike in front of the police station in Bogatic on Wednesday (December 17). He says he will go there by tractor.
One in a series of cases
This is one of a series of cases in which the Ministry of Agriculture has decided to prevent protesting farmers from receiving subsidies for the next few years.
Passive status was assigned to him because the agricultural inspector has been coming to inspect his farm for the past few months.
The last time it was at the beginning of November, when it was republican agricultural the inspector came to his house for the fourth time in the last two months.
The goal then, Lacković claimed for "Vreme", was to deprive him of the status of an active farmer, all for the sake of support. to students.
"With the passive, I am a dead man. I have two small children," Lacković said at the time.
All incentives for agricultural development, i.e. subsidies, are added to farmers who receive passive farm status. In addition, they cannot register another farm on the same land.
What came before?
Lacković's colleagues then prevented the inspector from getting out of the car, as he was without a valid warrant, and the hours-long saga ended after Lacković received a call from the BIA and a promise that the repression would stop.
At the time, Lacković claimed that the inspector persistently cheated the six of them because they supported the students.
After that, Lacković and his colleagues were summoned to the police for questioning, and in the meantime several of them received a decision on passivation.
