Serbia-Poland Business Forum held - New projects and joint ventures in next five years

Polish Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Checko said Friday (2 October 2015) that the relations between the two countries were excellent, adding that Serbia had an unbelievable potential in agricultural tourism, while Poland had capital to finance investments in that field and can serve as an example of how to develop agritourism.

- Serbia is a paradise for tourists, everything is natural here, but it only needs to be promoted - Checko said in a statement to Tanjug news agency and added that he talked about that with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic because about 200,000 people from Poland were passing through Serbia every year, but without stopping - "which has to be changed".

Polish Agriculture Minister Zofia Szalczyk pointed out at Serbia-Poland Business Forum that the economic cooperation between Serbia and Poland should be quickly progressing within the next five years, voicing her expectation that there would be fewer joint projects and Polish-Serbian joint ventures in the future. She stressed that her country had successfully overcome the economic crisis which hit almost all countries in the world in the period 2008-2010.

Polish companies and economy have much to offer to Serbia, said the Polish minister underlining that cooperation was possible with large and modern factories using the state-of-the-art technology as well as small and medium-sized enterprises.

The Serbia-Poland Business Forum was organized as part of the visit by the Polish state and business delegation consisting of representatives of companies operating in the field of agriculture, food and forestry, green technologies, civil engineering, chemistry, energy, transportation, IT sector.
