Speaking at a press conference, Dimitrijevic said that Serbian businessmen are very interested in participating in the exhibition in Moscow, adding that display of the Serbian economy covering nearly 3,000 square meters of exhibition space will certainly not be enough for all those interested.
Dimitrijevic explained that the presentation of the Serbian economy at the National Exhibition in Moscow will serve as a model of Serbia's commercial trade promotion in other countries as well. He added that the event in Moscow will be attended by six Serbian ministers.
According to Dimitrijevic, while the energy sector is of particular interest to Russian investment, the range of investment possibilities in Serbia is much greater that just that.
He said that in a matter of three months the council for protection of market competition will begin working, adding that candidates for the council will be recommended to the Serbian government this week and the council probably will be formed by the end of November.
Dimitrijevic said that in 2006 approximately 500 million dinars will be invested in the tourism infrastructure in several regions of Serbia that have been given priority status in tourism.
He specified that these are Stara Planina mountain, Lake Palic, the mountains of Tara, Zlatibor, Divcibare, the Soko Banja spa, the mountains of Golija, Vlasina and Kucevske Planine, and added that the budget bill envisages that another 300 million dinars be invested in tourism next year through loans and subsidies.
Dimitrijevic said that the aim is to develop the primary tourist communal infrastructure, which is a precondition for foreign investment in tourism.
