This year, the factory will export €200 million worth of products, with plans to more than double the value to €500 million next year, the President announced, adding that the opening of the factory is the first phase, with Linglong to continue to expand. The company is expected to emerge as one of Serbia’s largest exporters within a few years, Vučić noted.
