A corner-laying ceremony kicked off Friday a construction of multifunctional mall in Skopje municipality Petrovec - an investment of EUR 10 million of the Italian Group 'Euro Italia'.

This investment, which is expected to open 100 new jobs, is rather significant for the further development of the municipality of Petrovec, Vice-Premier Vladimir Pesevski said at the ceremony.

"The Government remains dedicated to reforms and further improvement of the business climate in favour of attracting more investments, which should bolster the country's economic development, create new jobs and improve the living standard of citizens," Pesevski said.

Today's event is just the begging of the group plans for investing in Macedonia, company's official Alberto de Luca said.
