Mladjan Dinkic
Dinkic, who led Serbia’s delegation to the 13th annual meeting of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in London, told Beta news agency that Nordic countries were showing stronger interest in investment in Serbia and added that the memorandum would ensure such investment.
At the EBRD’s board of governors session yesterday, the Serbian delegation presented the economic policy of Serbia’s new government and stressed top priorities such as attracting fresh investment, improving exports, and simplifying bureaucratic procedures, in order to remove obstacles to the inflow of foreign capital, according to Dinkic.
Dinkic also said he had invited participants of the London meeting to attend the EBRD’s next annual meeting, which is due to be held in Belgrade on May 22 and 23 next year. He said that the 2005 meeting is a big opportunity for Serbia, and added that preparations must start immediately.
Dinkic said he would fly from London to Washington for talks with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank between April 23 and 26.
