LJAJIC: Telekom Srbija on the road to becoming a leader in the Balkans

Minister of Trade and Telecommunications of Serbia Rasim Ljajic called the intention of Telekom Srbija to participate in the race for the purchase of Telekom Albania “a good and a logical step”, which speaks to the strength and the potential of the domestic company to become the telecommunications leader in the Balkans.

Ljajic told Kurir that it was important for Serbia for Telekom Srbija to show that it is capable to invest in other regional markets, such as Albania, in addition to B&H and Montenegro, where it is already present.

– At the same time, this increases the value of our company – the minister said and added that, in case the purchase went through, the Serbian company would become a leader in the Balkans.

According to him, it is good that Telekom Srbija is taking part in the tender, but it is still too early to discuss the outcome, as it is not yet known who the competitors are.

As he explained, the consolidation of the market is important and logical, as only global and regional players can “survive in the telecommunications market”.
