Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic is on a one-day visit to Italy, where he is attending the presentation of the investment potential of Serbia.
In Venice, Vucic met with President of the Italian region of Veneto Luca Zaia, who said that this is a good opportunity for Italian companies to find out more about Serbia, but also for companies from Serbia to take advantage of their opportunity in the Italian market.
Vucic praised the cooperation between Serbia and Italy in the international and regional level, while the bilateral political relations are at a level of strategic partnership, with no outstanding issues.
He pointed out that affirmation of regional cooperation and good neighbourly relations remain key priorities for Serbia, and added that active involvement of Italy in the framework of the Central European Initiative and the Adriatic-Ionian Initiative is of great importance for Serbia.
The Prime Minister said that a large number of companies from the Veneto region are already present in Serbia, noting that our market is becoming more and more interesting and that he expects more investors from Italy.
Two years ago Serbia started with difficult and painful reforms. Today, our economic situation is very good. We even exceeded the forecast of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Prime Minister said.
Serbia offers full political stability and the general duty-free market, such as the markets of Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, he said and added that no other country in Europe can offer that.
If I were in your place with a wish to earn money and invest in a country, I would go to Serbia, Vucic said and invited Italian investors to invest their capital in Serbia.
The presentation of the investment potential of Serbia in Venice was attended by President of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce Marko Cadez and Dejan Stankovic, a former football player of Inter Milan.
