Tobacco growers resume bridge blockade
19:13 SABAC, Aug 6 (Beta) -Protesting tobacco growers from the Macva district have again blocked traffic on the bridge over the Sava at Sabac, after negotiations with Agriculture Minister Stojan Jevtic broke down today.
The protesters are refusing to allow even ambulances and police cars to cross the river. Grower representative Petar Loncar said that the demonstration had resumed after Jevtic failed to agree to payments of 64 million dinars (about 100,000 euros) owed for last year’s tobacco crop.
