Leskovac example of investments, good business conditions
Leskovac,
28 February 2018
Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated today, during her visit to Leskovac, that this city is an example of responsible and good local self-government that attracts a large number of foreign investments, but also provides good conditions for the work of domestic companies.
Brnabic pointed out that Leskovac is certified as a city with a favourable business environment, which is a high standard for Serbia and the entire region.
She added that Leskovac is an outstanding example for attracting foreign direct investments, and as an example mentioned factories "Falke", "Yura" and others operating in this city.
Last year was the best year to date in attracting foreign direct investment, without any privatisation.
We attracted €2.6 billion in investments, and if we can boost the support to family companies, small companies, and domestic companies, we will have a different growth, Brnabic said.
Speaking about the projects that she visited in Leskovac, the Prime Minister pointed out that, in cooperation with the Serbian government, the Clinic for Infectious Diseases has been reconstructed within the general hospital, in which about RSD 45 million were invested.
She also added that projects in the area of sport, environmental protection and education were implemented in this local self-government, pointing out that several schools were reconstructed in that town, but that reconstruction projects of other educational institutions are under preparation.
The state, together with the EU, invested €10.5 million in the wastewater treatment plant, she recalled and noted that a collector was built for which construction the Serbian government has allocated RSD 600 million.
The Serbian Prime Minister also referred to the electronic extension of validity of public health insurance cards, which has been made available as of today for the remaining 450,000 holders of insurance in Serbia, saying that it shows that the state has become a service for citizens and that this saves both time and money.
