      Serbia: Belgrade citizens take on Monsanto and GMO

      Serbia: Belgrade citizens take on Monsanto and GMO

      Several hundred people gathered in front of the Parliament in Belgrade, Wednesday, to protest against Monsanto. The protest was organised as a part of an international action, organised in over 40 countries. Protesters were planning to form a human chain around the Parliament but the chain was broken by the police.

      Protesters held banners and posters saying "For Serbia without GMO", "stop GMO", "GMO no" and "I am not scientific experiment".

      According to the 2009 law on GMO, Serbia doesn't allow production, growth or trade of GMO food. However, earlier this year, the Serbian Parliament decided to allow free traffic and trade of GMO products.

      Over 80 percent of Serbian citizens are against the production and trade of GMO food. Municipalities in Serbia, inhabited by over four million people, signed the declaration against the GMO. These municipalities declared themselves GMO free zones
