Belgrade/Milan,

Minister of Economy and Regional Development Nebojsa Ciric said today that there is a growing interest among Italian companies in investing in Serbia due to positive experiences of companies Fiat and Benetton.
Ciric told Beta news agency that 20 Italian companies which have never invested in our country attended a presentation of investment opportunities in Serbia held at the roundtable "Serbia-Italy, industrial cooperation and investment support," organised by the Milan Chamber of Commerce.
