The President pointed out that agriculture is the biggest opportunity for Serbia and that Serbia, if he is supported by the Government of Serbia, will "make a progress more rapidly than it was falling".
Talking to agriculture producers and journalists Nikolić says that it is necessary to create conditions to adjust agriculture budget to the "demands of Serbia from farmers", but to provide favourable production environment.

He emphasises the importance of rural development to motivate population to stay and work in rural areas which will result in increased food production, not only for both Serbian and foreign market.
According to Nikolić the farmers should be organised in cooperatives which can do export and import, and the Russian market can buy all food production Serbia can produce.
The Mayor Knežević concluded that agriculture offered the greatest opportunities and those potentials should be used. The Government fully supports all our plans and strategies, first of all, the development strategy of Zrenjanin so that in the period to come we are going to return Zrenjanin where it used to be, as a city of future – said Knežević, adding that, naturally a review of the present situation is needed and new teams to be formed.
