Industrial zone in Bojnik to be completed next year

Bojnik, 2 August 2021

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic toured today, as part of her visit to the Jablanica District, the Kosancic industrial zone in the municipality of Bojnik, which will be completed in 2022.

Brnabic underlined that the European Union invested €1 million in this zone and that an additional €219,000 were set aside from the state budget. She said that with these funds, the first communal facilities were set up in what is to become the industrial zone in Bojnik.

She added that 50 percent of work has been completed and that the remaining 50 percent should be financed by the local self-government, but that it is yet to be seen to what degree Bojnik can realise that.

In case the local self-government cannot do it, it will be seen how much the Ministry of Economy can help from the budget to complete the communal infrastructure equipping and to prepare the Kosancic industrial zone for a foreign investor.

However, the Prime Minister underlined that Serbia should rely more on its own knowledge and skills because, as she specified, there are 1,650 registered agricultural farms in Bojnik.

Some areas have a much greater potential in its own local economy than what a foreign investor could bring, she noted.

That is why a great responsibility lies on the local self-government to propose good projects and encourage them and not to rely only on foreign direct investments, which are certainly important, but we must trust more our own knowledge, skills and abilities.

With this potential, we could create, with small investment, incredible things for these people which they would run on their own. That does not mean that we will not fight for foreign investments, but while we are at it we must not lose a single day, the Prime Minister underlined.
