Nikezić: Mali plagiarized that the IMF reduced the projected growth rate of Serbia's GDP due to "blockades and violence"

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Sinisa Mali met today in Washington with IMF Deputy Managing Director Bo Lee and stated that Serbia is fully committed to cooperation with this international financial institution.

Vice President of the Freedom and Justice Party and MP Dušan Nikezić said that plagiarism is clearly the only thing that Finance Minister Siniša Mali is successful in, so "after plagiarizing his own doctorate and Serbia's economic indicators, he also plagiarized the IMF report yesterday, claiming that the IMF reduced the projected growth rates of Serbia's GDP from 4.2% to 3.5% due to 'blockades and violence'".

The vice-president of the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP) and MP Dušan Nikezić assessed today that Finance Minister Siniša Mali "plagiarized" the report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) by claiming that the IMF reduced the projected growth rates of Serbia's GDP from 4.2 percent to 3.5 percent due to "blockades and violence", while the real reason for the reduction is the war on customs rates.

The International Monetary Fund has reduced economic growth projections for Serbia for 2025 from 4.2 percent to 3.5 percent. The Minister of Finance, Siniša Mali, estimated that this decrease is the result of "violence and blockades that are happening in Serbia". The global economic growth forecast was lowered from 3.3 percent to 2.8 percent.

"Unfortunately, all of this has disastrous consequences for the Serbian economy, which our businessmen feel best in their businesses," said Mali.
