Half a million poor people live in Serbia, those are those who do not have the basic means of living. Two million people, who are at risk of poverty, live a little better than them. In total - 25,5 percent of the population of Serbia.
These are official data, and they were announced today by the United Trade Unions of Serbia "Sloga".
"We responsibly claim that more than 80 percent of Serbian citizens are exposed to the risk of poverty every day, because it is enough to miss regular payments of two to three salaries or pensions and they would experience a complete economic collapse and breakdown as seen in the nineties," claim from "Sloga".
They believe that shortages of milk and energy products are the result of "populist measures in the form of price restrictions and decisions to ban the export of milk."
They say that domestic products such as sugar, oil, flour, milk, pellets, firewood will be on the shelves and warehouses of rich western countries, which meet their needs from countries where there is a high degree of corruption and which, like Serbia, have the status of a colonial state.
