Joint work of government, AmCham to improve business conditions

Belgrade, 16 December 2022

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said today, at a meeting with representatives of the Board of Directors of the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Serbia, that the economic cooperation between the two countries is getting better, and that more American companies should come to our country, but also that activities should be focused on promoting Serbia on the American market.

The main topics of discussion were AmCham's priorities, the continuation and support of reforms, primarily in the areas of digitalisation, healthcare, the Green Agenda and environmental protection, as well as improving cooperation within the "Open Balkans" initiative.

She noted that this week, after the conference at which AmCham presented the analysis and results of its members' research "The Tenth Fleeting Time", a working meeting was organised to address the areas in which we could work together and thereby further improve the potential for investments as well as the quality of life of citizens.

The Prime Minister emphasised that we have the best possible cooperation with the United States and American companies, stating that the foreign trade exchange between the two countries exceeded €1 billion in 2021 and that it is expected to be significantly higher at the end of 2022.

AmCham President Stefan Lazarevic expressed his gratitude to Brnabic and her team for the open and constructive dialogue, within which a series of activities were agreed on to be implemented together with the government in 2023, with the aim of improving business conditions in Serbia and reducing the effect of the crisis.

Also, together we will continue the dialogue and monitor the degree of implementation of the activities, which in the field of digitization, the Green Agenda, health and the "Open Balkans", above all, aim to improve the efficiency of the administration and the judiciary and increase the level of transparency in the way of decision-making and functioning, he said.

Lazarevic explained that the goal is to modernise the health system and improve environmental protection, enable the diversification of energy supply sources, as well as to make Serbia even more attractive for investments.
