On that occasion, Milosavljevic said that companies from Moscow are interested in infrastructural projects in Serbia, first of all for construction of the Belgrade metro.
Talks have continued on the construction of the Serbian shopping mall in Moscow and the Moscow mall in Belgrade.
Milosavljevic said that last year's trade volume between Serbia and Moscow amounted to $800 million, of which exports from Serbia, mostly fruit, vegetables, sweets and meat products was $200 million, and added that negotiations with trade chains "Tander", "7th kontinent" and "Metro" have also started.
Vyshegorodtsev said that he talked with representatives of the Serbian Ministry of Infrastructure about construction of the Belgrade metro. He said that Russia should release a $30 million loan to Serbia, which is 2% to 4% of the metro's total value.
According to him, Russian companies will also participate in the tender of the City of Belgrade for the provision of trolley buses and they will also deliver modernised low-floor vehicles, which can already be found on the streets of Belgrade.
Vyshegorodtsev added that the Moscow market is very interested in food products from Serbia, because citizens of Moscow buy 40,000 tons of food per day, so the agreement has been made with the Serbian Ministry of Trade and Services to unite the Serbian producers.
