Belgrade/Osaka, 23 June 2025

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Siniša Mali presented today to Japanese businesspeople Serbia’s investment potentials and plans for organising the next Specialised Expo, which will be held in Belgrade in 2027.

Speaking at the opening of the Investment Conference in Osaka, organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia in cooperation with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry as part of Expo 2025, Mali noted that in recent years Serbia has positioned itself as a desirable investment destination on the global stage.

He told Japanese businesspeople that they are welcome to invest in Serbia, adding that the country is attracting record levels of foreign direct investment, which last year reached €5.2 billion.

According to him, more than 130 participating countries are expected at the Expo in Belgrade, with all of Japan’s experience in organising the exhibition being of exceptional importance.

During his visit to Osaka, Mali also toured the pavilions of several countries at Expo 2025, where he spoke with representatives of countries that have confirmed their participation in Expo 2027 in Serbia, including the pavilions of Japan, the People’s Republic of China, France and the United Arab Emirates.

Also attending the Investment Conference were Minister of Domestic and Foreign Trade and Serbia’s Commissioner General for Expo Osaka Jagoda Lazarević, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia Mihailo Vesović, Director of the International Cooperation Division of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry Negoro Takayoshi, Executive Vice President of the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) Mio Kawada and President of the Japanese Business Alliance in Serbia (JBAS) Goran Pekez.

Negoro highlighted that both Expo in Osaka and the Serbian Pavilion attracted great attention from visitors, and that Serbia, the host of the Specialised Expo 2027, has great investment potential.
