Source: Narodne novine – Nis / Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, said that a meeting with representatives of five districts (Nis, Pirot, Toplica, Jablanica and Pcinj) would take place in the coming weeks. He also added that over half of the least developed municipalities in Serbia were located in that part of the country.

"The purpose of the talks is to get better organized in order to help South Serbia through joint participation in the EU funds and in connection with foreign investors. I will ask government officials and certain businessmen to be involved in the development of this very important strategic area, because if we leave this part of Serbia without the population, any political statements will be superfluous ", Mr. Dacic said.  

The priority of the Serbian government in the coming months will be the opening of new border crossings with Macedonia and the development of southern parts of the country.

He said that the Day of Border Police was marked in Presevo in order to show that the state was present in South Serbia.
