Monitoring of application of prices of medicines in accordance with the rulebook will be executed by relevant entity inspection bodies.president of PdP Branislav Borenović said that the adoption of this rulebook is the fulfillment of the promise given to the citizens ten months ago and that it was one of the key priorities for the entrance of that party into the government on BiH level.
Lower prices of medicines have been achieved regardless of challenges, political or expert ones, as well as those related to pharmaceutical companies. Second goal of PDP on the level of BiH, Borenović added, is to push the deadline for payment of VAT to the end of the month.
