Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic met Saturday with Christopher Forbes, vice chairman of the Forbes publishing company, who is on a visit to Serbia, Tanjug news agency reports.

The prime minister noted that Forbes was visiting Belgrade for the second time, and that the first time was in 1967.

Forbes is staying in Serbia together with his grandchild, and in the next two days he will have official talks with top state officials and visit several institutions and museums.

Forbes will meet with Serbian Patriarch Irinej on Sunday, and First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and Minister of Economy and Finance Mladjan Dinkic on Monday, and the day after he will confer with President Tomislav Nikolic.

On Sunday, Forbes was scheduled to visit the St. Sava Temple, the National Library, the Museum of Paja Jovanovic, Princess Ljubica's Residence, and the Gallery of Frescoes in Belgrade.

The Serbian prime minister visited the Forbes company early in February during his visit to Washington. On the occasion, Dacic said that the government's priority was not just international policy, but also creating conditions for attracting foreign investments.
