In the largest industrial zone in the region, 35 companies are already operating, 65 plots have been sold. The construction of the bridge and the new roads that pass through the zone are starting the economic investment wheel.

We now have nine active negotiations with foreign and domestic investors interested in buying 36 hectares,” said the member of the city council for economy, Zivan Bajic.
The land in the zone is owned by the city and is not parceled out, which gives investors the opportunity to choose the size and appearance of the plot according to their needs, at a price of seven euros per square meter.
The entire industrial region along the river is in a free zone regime. The benefits of doing business in five locations are already used by 10 companies.
