Constanta Port Day held in Serbia

(From the Constanta Port Day in Serbia) The flow of goods between the Port of Constanta and Serbia amounted to 5.5 million tons in 2016. In the first seven months of the current year, the flow reached 3.8 million tons, compared to 3.1 million tons in last year's corresponding period.
