**Farmers Block Roads to Protest Tax Increase**
A group of farmers from the municipality of Raca in central Serbia blocked all access roads on Wednesday. They are protesting against an increase in local property taxes.
The blockades started early in the morning and will continue until the evening. Local residents joined the protests, bringing food and drinks to support the farmers. The blockade is a show of solidarity with students who are also affected by the tax increase.
This is not the first protest by the farmers. Since January 30, tractors have been parked outside the Raca municipal administration building. The protesters are demanding that the property tax rate be reverted back to last year’s level.
