BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 27
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Serbia and Azerbaijan should have joint ventures to ensure successful economic cooperation, Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovic said in an exclusive interview with Trend.
“Our trade and economic relations are not following fully our political relations, which are really good. What we have to do much more in the future is to try to improve our trade exchange, economic cooperation and to boost it in the future. At this particular moment the level of our trade exchange, our turnover during the first five months of this year is of about $27 million, which is 55 percent bigger than it used to be during the last year. So, there is a tendency of growth, but still there is a room to improve it and there are many possibilities between two business societies which are not still used.
On one side, we’re having extraordinarily good experience with Azerbaijani construction company Azvirt, which has been working in Serbia on construction of highway Milos Veliki in central Serbia. They’ve been constructing one really important part of that highway. They’ve completed it and it is extraordinarily well done. Now they are working on the other highway construction between Ruma, Sabac and Loznica and everything what they are doing is done in time and with the best quality. What we’ve to do much more is to find enough space for Serbian companies to work in Azerbaijan and as the best success of our economic cooperation it would be good to have joint ventures between Azerbaijani and Serbian companies,” said the minister.
