Šapiro, spoke on May 8th about expansion of operations and the investments of "MK Group" in Belarus. The meeting in Belgrade was a part of the extension of bilateral cooperation between the economies of the two countries, and it was occasioned by the recently signed Agreement on free trade between Republic of Serbia and Republic of Belarus.
