Parivodic told the Beta news agency that the Serbian delegation met today with Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and representatives of a number of multinational companies. The participants in the meeting agreed that in order to obtain such a large level of investment, Serbia should create a more favourable atmosphere for receiving investments of such volume and additionally work to open its market.
According to Parivodic, Olmert assessed that Serbia has great economic potential and that in a few years it could become the major industrial power in the Balkans, especially in the field of information technologies.
The Serbian state business delegation includes the deputy ministers of agriculture, energy and mining, trade, tourism and services, capital investment, the assistant minister of finance, as well as representatives of the Institute for Agriculture and Vegetable Growing, Telekom Srbija and the Oil Industry of Serbia.
