Belgrade –  The government of the Republic of Serbia adopted the measures for increasing Birth Rates – We Do Not Have Children. "This is a key problem for our country," said Aleksandar Vucic, the President of the Republic of Serbia, who announced that Serbia would, in the period to come, start undertaking the measures for increasing birth rates. He also said that if we failed to deal with the issue of birth rates right away “we will lose the country, which we have no right to do, because it is our obligation to take care of our homeland in the future."
