Vučić: Small wineries are the carriers of the development of the wine industry in Serbia

Small wineries are the carriers of the development of the Serbian wine industry and they have contributed to the increasing consumption of local wines, said Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić during a visit to the second international fair "Wine Vision of the Open Balkans".

He stated that Serbia now has 467 small wineries and that their number has increased tenfold compared to five years ago.

"These small wineries and our brave people are the carriers of the development of the wine industry. They export and sell on the domestic market, and more and more of their domestic wines are being sold," emphasized Vučić.

According to him, some of those small wineries in poor parts of our country contributed to enriching those parts in an excellent way.

Vučić wished luck and success to all exhibitors during the tour of their stands and tasted different types of wine during the tour of the stands together with the President of Montenegro and the Macedonian Prime Minister, Jakov Milatović and Dimitar Kovačevski.

He congratulated the small producers on their good products and wished them success in their performance at the fair and in business.

​ A large number of ministers were present at the opening ceremony, such as Irena Vujović, Goran Vesić, Jelena Tanasković, Maja Gojković, Ivica Dačić.
