In a statement to the Beta news agency, Dinkic said that the project will last 12–15 months and will facilitate investment in Serbia.
We will do away with regulations complicating the procedures and thus facilitate investments in Serbia, primarily in the private sector, said Dinkic and announced that a public debate on the Draft law on regional development will also begin in September.
He said the draft law envisages setting up a special fund for more evenly-balanced regional development which will help attract more investments in the infrastructure of underdeveloped areas and instigate local entrepreneurship.
The draft law will enter parliamentary procedure by end-October and it will be made a priority so that it can be adopted by the year’s end, said the Deputy Prime Minister.
According to him, the law has been drafted together with the European Agency for Reconstruction and envisages the formation of a regional development agency.
Dinkic specified that the agency’s task would be to consolidate functions of several current institutions, such as the Agency for the Development of SMEs and Entrepreneurship and the Regional Infrastructure Sector, currently a part of the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development.
The draft law envisages the opening of a national development agency, while the necessary infrastructure institutions for faster regional development will be composed of institutions at the regional and local levels, he said.
Thus, we will have institutions ready to use the EU pre-accession funds properly and the state will only coordinate the affairs.
