Further cooperation on free flow of people, capital agreed

Belgrade, 4 November 2021

President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic pointed out today, after a meeting with Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama and Deputy Prime Minister of North Macedonia Nikola Dimitrov, businessmen from the region and the Atlantic Council, that all people from the business community fully support the Open Balkans Initiative.

At a joint press conference at the Palace of Serbia, Vucic said that he, Rama and Dimitrov had a very serious meeting with representatives of the business communities of the three countries.

Open Balkans is an exceptional, big initiative that makes a difference, and it was not made because of politicians, but because of the people who live in Subotica, Veles, Saranda, each of our towns and villages, he said.

The President of Serbia said that the formation of a council for the implementation of the initiative has been agreed on, and that meetings will be held during next week with representatives of customs, agencies and phytosanitary inspections in order to analyse how the free flow of goods works.

Rama said that at the next meeting within the Open Balkans Initiative which will be held in Tirana in December, all agreements will be turned into concrete results, and assessed that Serbia has made a big step forward in attracting foreign direct investment.

Dimitrov noted that regional cooperation is a wise, real and European choice, adding that this is a long-term vision for victorious, stable Balkans in which borders will be of lesser importance.
