On that occasion, Martinović emphasised the importance of the foreign trade exchange of agricultural and food products with the Republic of Italy, which amounts to €545 million, and added that Italy, as a member of the EU, is the country to which Serbia exports the most, while it is in second place when it comes to imports.
The Minister stated that the circular economy is an important strategic concept for the green transition not only of the Republic of Serbia, but also of the whole of Europe.
Following the Green Deal and the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans, the Republic of Serbia is taking steps within the IPARD III programme through the construction of facilities for the sustainable use of energy, agro-ecological measures, digitisation, diversification and the LEADER approach in the amount of €280 million, and we are soon expecting the signing of a financial agreement, Martinović emphasised.
