A conference in Belgrade marked the 180th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Serbia and the UK.
Speaking at the conference, which was organised by the Eurosfera consulting agency, Sir Paul Judge, president of the British-Serbian Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that Serbia’s position has improved on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index and that the International Monetary Fund is now on Serbia’s side in the stand-by arrangement to provide financial support.
He invited the Government of Serbia to further improve these indices, which are vital for the country as aspects that confirm the country’s reputation in the commercial sense.
The conference was organised with the support of the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UK Embassy in Belgrade, the UK Department for International Trade, the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Serbia, the British-Serbian Chamber of Commerce, the British Society of Serbia and the British Business Network, under the patronage of the Serbian Minister for EU integration.
