Greek trade company Veropoulos announced that it planned to start construction of small trade center in Belgrade in 2010. That company has, so far, invested 47m EUR in development of Serbian market.

- This year we plan to start construction of a mini trade center at about 6,000 square meters, with a supermarket and accompanying contents, in Žarkovo - the Director General of Veropoulos in Serbia, Vasilis Kakagiotis, told Beta agency.

He expressed expectation that the company will be enabled to finish construction of Vero market in Voždovac this year, which started over two years ago.

- We plan to expand our retail network within the next five years by opening another 15 to 20 retail facilities in Serbia and to employ 1,600 people - said he.

According to his words, that means that, if the plans are met, total investment will reach the amount of about 120m EUR.

- We intend to keep investing in Serbia and building new facilities, which will lead to creation of new jobs in this difficult time, not only in Belgrade, but also all around the country - said Kakagiotis.
