Serbian caretaker Prime Minister Milos Vucevic has stressed that it will take a long time to recover from the consequences of the protests and blockades and that the economic data is very worrying.

"Economic data is very concerning, everything is in decline. We projected first quarter GDP growth at 3.6 percent, and now the flash estimate is 3 percent. This means that we are drastically reducing the chance that our salaries and pensions will increase, because someone 'played revolution'.

The micro economy is suffering deeply and is under great pressure. There is no atmosphere for people to socialize, hotels are half empty. They (protestors) are working to hurt and damage the Serbian economy," Vucevic told K1 TV.
