, NewsBank of China’s arrival means we expect an exponential growth of investments in Serbia, President Tomislav Nikolic has said.

Nikolic said that with its help and Zelezara’s owner, Hesteel, the Smederevo plant “will operate more successfully than ever in its history.”
He wished the bank, whose Belgrade headquarters will also serve as a regional hub, successful operations at the regional level, “since its development is a guarantee of the development of Serbia.”
