Leskovac's grill became protected brand

Leskovac's grilled meat has become protected as a brand in the Republic Institute for Intellectual Property, said the Head of the municipal Administration for Economy and Agriculture of Leskovac Stanoje Sekulić.

He said that, before the beginning of the Leskovac "Roštiljijada" (Grill Fair), which would take place from September 4 to 10, 2006, it was expected that the decision would be made about the geographic protection of production and he added that the ADministration had got the brand and the logo for the grilled meat.

That practically means that forgers of Leskovac's grilled meat will be eliminated from the game and that the meat can be exported as a protected brand.

According to his words, the protection of the geographic origin implies that the grilled meat can be made only from the meat of calves and young cows raised in six municipalities of the Jablanica region.
