Dinkić: New measures are just

Economy Minister Mladjan Dinkic says that the government’s new economic measures are just and fair. He said that car owners with economic license plates would have to pay both tax and duty for them, according to the Tanjug news agency. Dinkic: New measures are just Dinkic said that it would be practical to abolish the so-called E plates, but that during customs procedures, their age would be taken into account, adding that as far as taxing flats over 110 sqm was concerned, it would depend on whether they were located in the center of Belgrade or in a suburb. He said that flats in Belgrade and other towns would be treated differently. The minister said that he did not believe that the new measures would spark public anger, because the burden of the economic crisis had been transferred on to the shoulders of public administration and the better-off, not on low-income citizens and pensioners. He said that in the coming month, the government’s new measures would lead to more stable prices and exchange rate. The government announced its new measures to the public yesterday, via which it plans to save about EUR 1bn. Mladjan Dinkic (FoNet, archive)
