Zorana Mihajlovic and Giuseppe Manzo
Speaking at a business forum "Italy and Serbia: We build together", Mihajlovic pointed out that the cooperation between Serbia and Italy is very good, noting that at least 500 companies from Italy, employing more than 20,000 people, are operating in Serbia.
The value of investments of Italian companies in Serbia amounts to about €2 billion, she said, and added that the figure is expected to be even larger in the next period.
Mihajlovic told the investors that if they wish to operate in Serbia, they will have at disposal a person from the Ministry in order to facilitate administrative procedures.
She recalled that in previous years Italy has become the first trade partner of Serbia, which is one of the results of the commitment of the government and Italian Ambassador in Belgrade Giuseppe Manzo.
The Deputy Prime Minister expressed the hope that all 40 Italian companies attending the forum will want to stay here to work together with us.
