Serbia: Erste, GDP growth slowing in first quarter
Public debt down to 51.6% of GDP in April
11 June, 14:11The Erste macro outlook focused as well on the political situation in the country, recalling that the "Kosovo issue continues to occupy political arena", with President Vucic insisting on the "withdrawal of the 100% import tariff set by Kosovo, while Kosovo leaders request full recognition." "Further dialogue is obviously needed and will likely be continued under EU supervision," the document reads. While citizens' protest cooled down, Erste concluded, "the stage is set for heavy political campaigning later this year as president Vucic announced regular parliamentary elections will be held in March or April next year. Acknowledging that fact, we see little chance of a swift Kosovo resolution." (ANSA).
