Slovenia, Montenegro sign agriculture cooperation plan

Xinhua, April 11, 2017 Adjust font size:

Slovenian Agriculture Minister Dejan Zidan and his Montenegro counterpart Milutin Simovic signed here on Tuesday a bilateral cooperation plan until 2021, which coordinates work in five main fields.

Zidan listed agriculture and rural development, safe food, beekeeping, forestry, and new technologies and research as the fields addressed by "a very operative action plan."

According to the Slovenian Press Agency (STA), their talks also touched on the phasing of EU funds, with Montenegro planning to beef up its Agriculture Ministry administration.

The two ministers agreed about the need for a more balanced trade between Slovenia and Montenegro, which last year was heavily in favour of Slovenian exports.

Zidan noted the first big opportunity to address these issues would come in August, when Agra fair, a trade fair for agricultural products and food will take place. Enditem
