More American companies to come to Serbia soon

Belgrade, 27 April 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic stated today that she expects good news in the coming days regarding more American companies coming to our country.

In a televised appearance on Television PINK, Brnabic said that some of the topics of her yesterday’s talks with US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Karen Donfried were the economy, IT sector and American companies.

She underlined that Serbia has excellent relations with US companies and that cooperation runs at several levels, including cooperation with the Serbian diaspora in the United States.

Speaking about her yesterday’s meeting with Donfried, the Prime Minister assessed that the talks were extremely difficult but also constructive, adding that Washington recognises the readiness of our country to make decisions, no matter how difficult they might be, just in order to preserve peace and stability.

The United States sincerely and openly supports the "Open Balkans" Initiative and calls on everyone to join in. As a result of all that, our relations have changed, regardless of opposing views on Kosovo and Metohija, the Prime Minister said.

Brnabic recalled that the United States took some actions thanks to which Pristina abolished taxes on goods from central Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

She pointed out that everything we have today is the result of fiscal consolidation measures, responsible policy and principled foreign policy.

Regarding the EU accession talks, in the difficult year of 2021, we were the first to accept the new accession methodology and opened an entire cluster, she said. We have the best relations with the European Union, but also with Russia, so owing to the good price of Russian gas, we have survived the winter months, Brnabic pointed out.

She added that pressures on Serbia are great, but that our country, at meetings with foreign partners, is not threatened or blackmailed, because our country is now respected.

The Prime Minister said that interlocutors have expectations from us, but they always try to listen and understand our position on sanctions against Russia, which is a consequence of everything that happened in the 1990s, and ended with the NATO aggression in 1999.
