In the attendance of high officials of the Governments of Serbia and Ukraine and representatives of the business sector, a business forum aimed at facilitating the improvement of economic cooperation between the two countries has been organised at the Grand Hotel at Mt. Kopaonik last week.

Miodrag Kostić, on behalf of the “Businessman” Club, and Iskander Hisamov, President of the Reform Club of Ukraine, have inked the Agreement on future cooperation among businesspeople of the two clubs.

Today’s discussions of the representatives of the Governments of Serbia and Ukraine, high officials and representatives of the business sector have been focused on the experience of these two countries in the area of economic reforms, specific business ideas, projects implemented by the Serbian business sector in Ukraine and of the Ukrainian one in Serbia, as well as the investment climate in Serbia.

The forum has also included recommendations for improving further cooperation between Serbia and Ukraine. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Tigipko and Serbian Minister of Economy and Regional Development Nebojša Ćirić have addressed the forum participants, among other speakers.

Conclusions of the first day of the forum confirmed that the potential for economic cooperation between Ukraine and Serbia is huge and insufficiently used. The second day of the forum focused on bilateral discussions of entrepreneurs of the two countries.
