BELGRADE Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic has said that he expects economic growth in 2013 but that it will not be big enough to be visible right away. “We expect economic growth in 2013 but it will not be so big that people will be able to feel it,” he told Radio Television of Serbia (RTS). PM expects “slight economic growth in 2013” He stressed that the government wanted the economic growth to be five percent a year by the end of its mandate. “Everyone needs a little fairytale in the beginning of the year but I am not a group therapist here to hand out diazepam, to claim that things will be better because I do not know that, even though I want things to be better,” Dacic said and added that he always tried to tell the truth. “We will do everything to help the state recover, to open new jobs. We have already agreed on investments in energy, we are trying to find a solution for Smederevo Zelezara steel mill and Fiat will be our biggest exporter,” he explained. The prime minister noted that “it is not good that Serbia has the highest inflation in the region, the highest unemployment rate” and added that this was the reason the country should turn toward the EU. “I am not one of those who think that the EU is a new religion and deity but one should be rational and if we all want to live better, then it is necessary,” he stressed. Dacic said that the country’s EU integration directly depended on the solution for the Kosovo problem and that Serbia’s economic development directly depended on the EU pathway. “This pathway is not easy, there are many blackmails and abuses,” the prime minister underscored. “We are trying to solve problems and not leave them to our children,” he concluded Ivica Dacic (Tanjug, file) RTS Tanjug
