Chargé d'affaires Blažević informed about the reliefs which the Government of Serbia introduced as an incentive for the foreign investments, emphasising the importance of current Free Trade Agreements that enable the placement of goods produced in Serbia on third markets of over 1.3 billion consumers.

On this occasion, the guests were able to enjoy the specialties of Serbian gastronomy made to the traditional recipes.
