– With a bitter taste in my mouth, I have to say that the social program has been completed – Markovic said and added that the payment of severance packages would begin on July 28 in the amounts from EUR 4,800 to EUR 14,000.

He said that, according to his findings, around 600 workers had left Fiat's subcontractors, due to reduced production.

Markovic said to the press in Kragujevac that the company had already started operating in two shifts instead of three and that more than 400 cars would be produced daily.
