A Vienna company opening a factory in Nova Pazova – Large potential for the cooperation between Serbia and Austria

There is potential for cooperation between Austria and Serbia in the fields of agriculture, energy, environmental protection and infrastructure, but better connecting and increased mutual familiarity between the companies is needed, stated the president of the Managing Board of the Senate of Economy of Serbia Ivan Gros on Wednesday, June 22, 2016. He said at the press conference that the Senate of Economy, an independent institution financed by its members, among which are the leading people in economy, science, media and culture and the representatives from the areas of politics, diplomacy and public life, was founded two years ago to the end of improving the economic cooperation between Serbia and Austria.

According to Gross, there's great interest in Austria, but also in Germany, which is behind the Senate of Economy of Austria, in penetrating the Serbian market, which will create new jobs.

As an example of a successful connection between the two countries, Gross cited the fact that it was expected that a Vienna company would open a factory in Nova Pazova which would produce special beverages which serve as food supplements and which would initially employ 100 people, the number which would increase depending on the amount of work.

He also emphasized that Serbia might use Austria's experiences in agriculture, since that country is the European leader in that area, with over 20,000 farms and half a billion hectares of land for the organic production of fool, and a large part of agriculture subsidies in Austria going into the rural development.
