Serbia achieved good economic results in the second quarter of this year, despite the difficult situation caused by the pandemic, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said today.
“We had a phenomenal first quarter, growth of five percent and it never happened to be the fastest growing economy in one quarter of the year. It is historical news and things that fundamentally change our country, people, our people, as well as the perception of our country,” said Brnabic for TV Pink.
She pointed out that Serbia is now, in the second quarter, “side by side” with Lithuania, which had a smaller decline than Serbia.
She also said that there is not enough talk in Serbia about the achieved results and added that the fact that we have a stable number of employees is an incredible success.
Compared to the second quarter of 2019, there are now 1.6 percent more employees in Serbia, the Prime Minister specified.
“It shows how much we are doing and what we can do, and in such a difficult time when unemployment is growing dramatically everywhere in Europe and the world. In some countries it is in double digits, and it is expected to go up to 22-25 percent, and Serbia is it holds up so well and it is the result of everything we have done as a country since 2014,” she said.
Brnabic said that then Aleksandar Vucic took over not only the government, but also a huge responsibility, B92 reports.
