At the first session of the newly elected Board of Directors of the Foreign Investors Council (FIC) of Serbia, the new leadership team was appointed for the next three years. The president of FIC Serbia will be responsible for overseeing the Council’s activities, while two vice presidents were also elected to support the initiative.
The newly appointed leadership is committed to fostering a business environment in Serbia that is transparent, predictable, competitive and sustainable. The priority remains to continually improve the business and investment climate, and the Council aims to be a reliable partner in regulatory reforms that will drive economic growth and benefit all citizens of Serbia.
The Council also emphasized the importance of intensified negotiations with the EU regarding Serbia’s membership status. These efforts aim to align domestic regulations with European standards and reduce geopolitical risks associated with foreign investments and trade.
In the coming period, FIC Serbia’s focus will include more effective implementation of existing laws, improving supply chain management, aligning Serbia’s economy with EU requirements, and developing human resources. Additionally, the acceleration of digitization across various sectors, improving green transition initiatives, waste management, and promoting ESG principles and regenerative agriculture are key focal points. FIC also plans to strengthen energy independence and diversify energy sources.
Another priority for FIC members is managing inflation within target levels, optimizing the fiscal burden to encourage investment, and reducing public spending. Further, the restructuring of infrastructure companies will be critical to maintaining fiscal health and public debt levels.
Along with the new leadership, the FIC Board of Directors includes members from a range of organizations, representing diverse industries across Serbia. Together, they will continue to work towards improving the country’s economic and business landscape.
