The meeting defined the upcoming steps necessary for the adoption of laws and other regulations that will enable the approval and use of EU funds in the field of agriculture.
The officials pointed out that it is necessary to reach an agreement on the methodology of the agricultural census and marking of animals as soon as possible, and it was agreed that the competent entity ministries and statistical agencies take all activities so that this process can be implemented in 2023. It was concluded that there is no need for the adoption of a law on the agricultural census, but a unique methodology on the basis of which the census will be conducted, on which there is the consent of the competent entity ministries and statistical agencies.
