Serbian President Boris Tadic visited Thursday in Uzice, western Serbia, the woollen mill Klupko and said that the state should help placement of domestic high-demand products which preserve tradition on international markets.
Tadic said that launching a family business is the only proper and the best way to create new jobs, and for families to earn their living, educate their children and employ local inhabitants.
“You found a product which for which there is a demand on the market and that is the best way to help the society,” Tadic underlined, adding that woollen products made by the Klupko mill not only produce economic value, but also preserve tradition, Tadic stressed.
“This region is famous for that and such products are very important from the aspect of culture and tradition, but you also provide economic security to the many employees,” Tadic pointed out.
Cardigans from the Mount Zlatibor region are famous across Serbia and we all know that, but it would be good to place the produts on the international market as well, he said.
Owner of the Klupko woollen mill Dragoslav Simic said that this family business employs four workers and has managed to save this old craft from extinction.
