By BRUSSELS. Sept 19 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković said that he does not intend to allow Ukrainian grain into the country’s domestic market, Politico reported on Tuesday.
Croatia’s position and desire is the following: we are a transit country, and not a country that will receive huge amounts of Ukrainian grain, which is cheaper than ours, Plenković said.
According to him, the import of such products would lead to the fact that our farmers would be in trouble.
On September 15, the European Commission announced the termination of restrictive measures on the export of Ukrainian grain and other food products to the EU. Later, the authorities of Poland, Hungary and Slovakia announced the introduction of their own bans.
