Nis, 24 November 2020

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic attended today the opening of the multi-purpose laboratory lamella of the Electronic Faculty in Nis, in which more than €8 million has been invested.

On that occasion, Brnabic said that Serbia continues to implement important projects in difficult and challenging times.

The Prime Minister stated that the government of Serbia has invested €8.1 million in the multi-purpose laboratory lamella, within the Nis Science and Technology Park, of which €7.7 million in the construction of a facility on nearly 7,000 square metres.

In the last two years, €21.1 million has been invested in the educational and scientific-research infrastructure in Nis, and that refers to NTP and this lamella. I believe that it will return to Nis and Serbia many times over through the additional value that is already being created here, said the Prime Minister.

She emphasised that the opening of the laboratory lamella shows that the government of Serbia, in the year when the whole world is facing the corona virus pandemic, continued to carry out the started projects in cooperation with the EU and the European Investment Bank (EIB).

Brnabic pointed out that there is no better money invested than in knowledge, young, talented people, education, research and development, reminding that three new NT parks were opened in Serbia this year – in Cacak, Novi Sad and Nis.

Also, the Prime Minister said that a new building was built for the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad, an additional building of the Electronic Faculty in Nis, as well as that a new FON building is being built in Belgrade.

Thus, we have created a new backbone of the development of the new economy, the new economy of Serbia, but also a completely new society, the Prime Minister said.

She reiterated that the main goal of the government of Serbia is to raise the productivity and competitiveness of our economy, and added that this is achieved by investing in new technologies, startup companies, young talents, their creativity and innovation.

Dean of the Electronics Faculty in Nis Dragan Mancic, First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Science and Technological Development Branko Ruzic and Mayor of Nis Dragana Sotirovski attended the event.
