| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] Farmers from the Albanian municipality of Lushnja held a protest on November 12, during which they clashed with the police. As reported by the Albanian news agency Politiko. al, farmers sat on the highway in the middle of the intersection, blocking traffic to the south of the country. The protesters demand direct payments to individual production units in the amount of 10 leks per kilogram of production and argue that such payments will stimulate production, and not simply serve as an instrument of social support, they will formalize payments and reduce corruption and bureaucratic costs of state support for producers. Another farmers' demand is to abolish the value added tax on chemical fertilizers. |
