VMRO-DPMNE repeated its call that the country’s strategic reserves are used to reduce the price of food in the markets. This especially applies to the price of flour which is rising with the war in Ukraine.

If the national strategic reserves are full, why did the Government allow an increase in the prices of basic food items. We had to learn from Serbian President Vucic that Macedonia has turned to them asking for grains and corn. And now the Government insists that we have sufficient reserves. If it is so, why aren’t those reserves used to bring down the price? Our citizens were already being impoverished with the energy price hikes, and now the food prices are adding a new blow, the party asked.
