Potential for expanding economic cooperation with United States

Belgrade, 6 February 2019

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic today talked with US Ambassador to Serbia Kyle Scott about the recent visit to that country and the possibilities of expanding cooperation, first of all, in the field of economy.

Brnabic pointed out that her visit to the United States convinced her that there is great potential for expanding cooperation in the fields of education and science and innovation in agriculture.

As a good example, she stated the results of an agreement with representatives of NCR, which has been operating in Serbia for many years, about building campuses in Belgrade and expanding business in our country.

According to Brnabic, it is extremely important that investors like NCR are satisfied with the business in Serbia and are ready to cooperate with educational institutions because, as she said, the reform of the economy is based on knowledge and innovations.

Regarding the situation in Kosovo-Metohija, Prime Minister Brnabic stressed that it is necessary for Pristina to abolish taxes that violate the provisions of CEFTA, in order to continue the Brussels dialogue and to seek a compromise solution for the issue of Kosovo-Metohija.

Ambassador Scott reiterated that the United States continuously urges the authorities in Pristina to abolish the taxes on goods from Serbia, emphasising that Pristina fees are an obstacle to dialogue.

He added that the US supports Belgrade's efforts to normalise relations with Pristina and is ready to help achieve a viable solution that would allow stability and progress throughout the region.
