Siemens today employs around 1,600 people in Serbia, around 1,400 of which are employed in its production facilities in Subotica, which testifies to the importance of this company for Serbia. Siemens is one of those corporations that are socially responsible and care for the community in which they operate,” noted PM Brnabić.
