EU recognises important role of Serbia in region
Nis,
15 October 2016
Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic announced today that in the next few days he expects the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and European Union to change the forecast rate of economic growth of Serbia from 2.5% to 2.7%.
Vucic said at a press conference held after talks with ambassadors of EU countries that our country will have one of the highest growth rates in the region, despite the fiscal consolidation.
He also announced significant progress of Serbia towards the top on the "Doing Business list” of the World Bank, which will be published in the next days, stating that we will thus be able to attract an even greater number of investors.
I have a dream and a plan and I know what we need to do, but the support from international financial institutions in defining the way in which it should be carried out is valuable and necessary, the Prime Minister said.
According to Vucic, the meeting with representatives of the EU and the World Bank was focused on the strategic objectives of Serbia, which will in the next three years have a GDP growth of more than 12%, which would mean an increase in income and a better standard.
This requires peace and stability, progress in the EU, difficult things that we have in the dialogue with Pristina, many of the reforms that we have done in the economic sense, he said.

Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Michael Davenport said that the EU recognises the role that Serbia has in the region and wants to contribute to the progress of regional cooperation.
He stressed that he, as well as the ambassadors of EU member states, had a special honour to have a meeting with the government of Serbia in Nis, which is an important gateway to southern Serbia, and can be an engine for growth of this part of the country.
Davenport said that the EU wants to be involved in Serbian reforms, modernisation, growth and prosperity.
