Belgrade,
10 January 2007
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica and Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Jonas Gahr Stoere agreed today that Serbia and Norway have friendly and very good relations and emphasised the importance of economic cooperation between the two countries.
Stoere said that the investment of Norwegian Telenor is the largest amount invested by this company ever and stressed that it is particularly important that the whole process was carried out transparently.
The Norwegian Minister noted that Serbia has large economic potential and is a good place to invest.
Kostunica pointed out that investment in Serbia last year amounted to $4.1 billion, or four times more than 2004, whereas international institutions proclaimed Serbia leader in reforms.
The Prime Minister also noted that the Serbian economy invested elsewhere in the region as well, with the acquisition of Telekom Srpske by Telekom Srbija, which speaks of the recovery of the domestic economy.
Kostunica also stressed that the solution to the future status of Kosovo-Metohija must be based on respect of international law and the UN Charter guaranteeing preservation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of states.
Kostunica pointed out that the solution to the province’s status must not be imposed but based on dialogue and compromise, with respect of European standards in protecting national minorities. The Prime Minister also stressed that Serbia is ready to secure essential autonomy for Kosovo-Metohija as part of the Serbian state.
