Construction of Italian economy's logistics center may start soon in Novi Sad

Construction of a logistics center of the Italian economy sector may soon kick off in Novi Sad, and preliminary talks about that will start Thursday (15 March 2012) in the Novi Sad Regional Chamber of Commerce (NS RCC).

As it was said at a meeting between Italian and Serbian businessmen, the plan is to build a warehouse for Italian goods, as well as production facilities where Italian semi-finished products would be additionally processed and then, as goods from Serbia, exported to Russia in line with the Free Trade Agreement between the two countries.

This is a project of the Trieste Chamber of Commerce, supported by the chambers of commerce of Milan, Florence and Udine, while partners on our side are the Ministry of Finance, the City of Novi Sad, the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (SCC), NS RCC, VIP-Fund, the Port of Novi Sad and Novi Sad Free Zone. The logistics center would be situated in the Port and the Free Zone. The plan is to finish the whole job within the next two years.

As it was specified, the project Korlog – Pan-European Corridors, Platform for Production and Logistic Services in Serbia envisages the construction of a warehouse in Serbia for Italian goods and products from other countries, primarily neighboring ones, such as Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia... These goods would be then exported to Russian and other markets.

On the other hand, the plan is also to build production facilities where raw materials and semi-finished products imported from Italy would be additionally processed to get a product of the Serbian origin that could be exported to Russia free of duties.
