Raspberry growers block roads
ARILJE, Monday – Several thousand raspberry growers from the region of Uzice in central Serbia today blocked the main road to Belgrade, near Pozega, in protest at the price offered by the state for this year’s harvest.
The growers say the blockade will last until their demands are met.
The government has refused to meet the price of sixty dinars per kilo demanded for this year’s raspberry crop.
The protesters say they will also block the Belgrade-Bar and Pozega-Kraljevo railways.
