Milosavljevic said that this complex which covers the area of 1,300 square metres will host plants for the production of warm coffee drinks and storage of coffee-based products imported by this company.
The access to Corridor 10 is crucial for the arrival of investors, the Minister pointed out and underlined that the state’s task is to secure a modern connection with this corridor for the cities of Krusevac, Kragujevac, Vranje and Sabac.
He recalled that Krusevac, which has a skilled working force and huge resources, had been Serbia’s industrial centre for many years, but currently has a very high unemployment rate hence the connection with Corridor 10 can bring it progress.
Milosavljevic observed that Serbia is exiting the crisis and that the public’s standard of living will improve, as shown by economic indicators from the beginning of the year.
Serbia has recorded a 7.5% rise in production in the first five months of 2010 in relation to the same period of 2009, while GDP in the first quarter has increased by less than 1%.
Director of Genim company Igor Zivkovic outlined that the complex, the construction of which began today, should be completed by November and it will employ 20 workers.
Zivkovic confirmed that Genim has been in operation in Krusevac for five years. It imports espresso coffee and as of last year it started producing drinks. It sells its products in Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Croatia.
