hundreds of farmers with tractors demonstrate against government in kosovo

Farmers protested the Ministry of Agriculture with their tractors, arguing that they did not receive sufficient support from the state during the Covid-19 pandemic in Kosovo. Hundreds of farmers, dissatisfied with the wheat subsidy criteria, gathered in the streets of the capital Pristina with nearly 200 tractors. The demonstrators forwarded a petition to the Minister of Agriculture, requesting the cancellation of the 2020-2021 subsidy application process and the revision of the decision taken. Later, the farmers, who toured the streets of Pristina with their tractors, stated that they would organize a larger protest if their demands were not met.
