TADIC: INSISTING ON INNOVATIVENESS AS A DEVELOPMENT FACTOR

BELGRADE, Feb. 1 (Beta) – President Tadic stated that it is necessary for a factor of innovation to be "injected" into the economy, so that competitiveness is secured at a time of serious economic crisis, and that one must search for realistic solutions and fight for the preservation of jobs. Speaking at the ceremony marking the start of construction of a factory of Danish company Grundfos in Indjija, Tadic stressed that innovativeness is also important in politics for facing unusual problems and challenges and for solving problems on the internal plane."Innovativeness as the solving of problems in a different way becomes a demand in the time we are living in, in the crisis that affects each country in the world rich and poor alike," Tadic said. The Serbian president said that each municipality, bureau or administrative unit in Serbia must demonstrate innovativeness, because this is how one attracts investors and the state becomes more attractive compared with others in the region.
