Serbia to increase exports to Belarus

Belarus Minister of Trade Valentin Chekanov said he expects trade with Serbia to increase shortly and expressed his conviction that bilateral trade totalling 60 million dollars annually will increase, especially after the two countries signed a free trade agreement on March 31 in Minsk.

Belarus Minister of Trade Valentin Chekanov said he expects trade with Serbia to increase shortly. After visiting the Serbian national exhibition in Minsk, he said he expects the exhibited products from Serbia to be available in Belarys soon.

Prospects also exist for creating joint enterprises and building new factories, as well as for investments in large infrastructure and construction projects, he told the press.

He expressed his conviction that bilateral trade totalling 60 million dollars annually will increase, especially after the two countries signed a free trade agreement on March 31 in Minsk.

Belarus is particularly interested in food products and vehicle parts made in Serbia, he said.

Minister of Trade and Services Slobodan Milosavljevic evaluated that the contract signed in Minsk on the construction of business center 'Vivaldi' in Belarus capital, the total value of which is USD 107 million, is very significant for Serbian civil engineering because this project and construction will mainly employ Serbian companies.

In a statement to the reporters Milosavljevic said that this was what Serbian state and business delegation expected on their arrival in Belarus, that is a cordial welcome, readiness to establish strong economic cooperation with Serbia and to implement the Free Trade Agreement that the two countries have recently signed in Minsk.

Serbian Chamber of Commerce (PKS) President Milos Bugarin evaluated that the first contract was signed only 24 hours after the opening of the National Exhibition of Serbia in Minsk which represents a good start for the performance of Serbian companies in this manifestation.

"I believe there will be new contracts, particularly in the area of agriculture," Bugarin underscored, adding that Serbian agriculture and food industries have the biggest chance of thriving in Belarus market.
