Djelic told the press in Athens that the current caretaker government of Serbia will ensure the stability of the dinar exchange rate, inflation rate and foreign investments.
He recalled that Greek investors invested €1.8 billion in Serbia and said that current and prospective investors can count on good conditions for business development, which the Serbian government will continue to ensure.
According to Djelic, Greek businessmen are worried because of the situation in Serbia and want Serbia to remain on the European road because they know that that is the best insurance for their investments.
There is no room for politics in business and I am not here on a pre-election campaign but to tell them that this government will ensure stability, said Djelic.
The Deputy Prime Minister also spoke with top officials of the National Bank of Greece, Veropoulos, Lamda, Eurobank EFG and representatives from the Athens Chamber of Commerce and the Business Council Greece-Serbia.
Djelic met today with Greece Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Yannis Valinakis and asked that Greece look into Belgrade’s proposal to make Greek visas for Serbian citizens free-of-charge this summer.
We hope to receive a positive answer, stated Djelic following the meeting with Valinakis.
Djelic called on Greece to help Serbia regarding the signing of the EU Stabilisation and Association Agreement and acquiring EU candidate status by the end of the year, because according to him, Greece is Serbia’s strong lobbyist in the EU.
Speaking about Kosovo-Metohija, Djelic underlined that Greece advocates respect for international law.
That gives us hope that Greece will persist in not recognising the independence of Kosovo-Metohija, Djelic concluded.
