President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has explained to the heads of villages and heads of neighborhoods what kind of a presidential system he wants. I have not yet figured out whether or not we should call this "the bee model presidency."

KRAGUJEVAC - Serbian beekeepers exported 1,500 tons of honey last year, which is over 50 percent less than in 2013, when honey exports totalled 3,370 tons, the deputy president of the Association of Serbian Beekeepers, Milutin Petrovic, has told Tanjug.

The heavy rain in the past few months will push honey prices up against the backdrop of a small harvest, according to Bulgarian industry representatives.

Honey retailers from the Smolyan district, as cited by the Bulgarian National Radio, noted that they expected a price increase by BGN 2, with a jar of honey reaching a price tag of BGN 12-13.

The bad weather and flooding is expected to cause a decline in honey production, according to Valentin Atanasov from the National Association "Bulgarian Beekeepers' Union."

Atanasov, as cited by the Bulgarian National Radio, made clear that honey output in 2013 had amounted to over 14 000 tonnes and some 60-70% of it had been exported, mainly to Germany, Greece and Poland.

BELGRADE - Export of honey from Serbia will drop this year by around 85 percent, and shortages of acacia honey are expected to hit the local market due to the lack of acacia grazing, President of the Serbian Federation of Beekeeping Organisations (SPOS) Rodoljub Zivadinovic said.

The Board of Management of the Council of Europe’s Eurimages, European Cinema Support Fund, has agreed to support 20 film projects of feature films and two animated films for a total amount 8.3 million euros.

BELGRADE – The Sixth Governmental Beekeeping Fair, bringing together a total of 97 participants from all over Serbia, was opened by Serbian Agriculture Minister Dragan Glamocic at the Belgrade Fair on Saturday.
