The potential Japanese partners are ready to sign the contract on business-technical cooperation with "Zastava", similar to the one signed with "Fiat".

That practically means that, in addition to Italian "punto", "Zastava" could soon start assembling some of the latest models of the automobiles of Japanese manufacturers - "Nissan", "Suzuki", "Mitsubishi" or some of the latest passenger "Hyundai" vehicles.
