Presentation of national strategy for developing industrial parks in December
Belgrade,
14 November 2008
State Secretary for Regional Development Dejan Jovanovic today announced that the Ministry and the World Bank will present the national strategy for the development of industrial parks in December, based on the analysis of demand for industrial land in Serbia.
Opening the workshop on drafting the national strategy for developing industrial parks, Jovanovic specified that four groups are taking part in the drafting, namely the demand and financial analysis group, legal and institutional framework preparation groups and the group for spatial and regulation plans and city planning.
He noted that apart from the World Bank’s Foreign Investment Advisory Service and the Ministry of Economy and Regional Development, also taking part are the Serbian Investment and Export Promotion Agency, the EU-funded Serbia Investment Promotion Programme, USAID, the National Alliance for Local Economic Development and the Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities.
Jovanovic stressed that industrial zones are important for Serbia’s economic development as they help attract foreign direct investments.
According to him, RSD 1 billion a year is earmarked from the National Investment Plan for 29 industrial zones.
However, total investments are larger because local self-governments also invest in these zones, said Jovanovic, pointing to the examples of Indjija, Kragujevac and Batocina.
