At the ceremonial assembly of the Association of Italian Businessmen in Serbia - Confindustria Serbia, Đurić congratulated the participants of the assembly on the results they achieved in economic cooperation between Serbia and Italy, recalling that last year was successful in many economic parameters, but that this year is expected to be extraordinary.
Global, sometimes regional and local circumstances are not always easy, however, Serbia is a country that is fighting to ensure that companies operating in it have the best possible environment and the best possible incentives from the state system, the Minister said.
The head of Serbian diplomacy also cited the fact that Serbia is one of the countries with the largest network of free trade agreements as our comparative advantage.
Đurić emphasised that Serbia is firmly on its path to EU membership, and accordingly expressed gratitude to the Italian leadership for its consistent assistance to Serbia on various issues of vital national and state interest.
He recalled that, even at the moment when the Confindustria assembly is being held in Belgrade, Italian soldiers are guarding Serbian monasteries, such as Visoki Dečani in Kosovo and Metohija.
