Western Balkan Six Chamber Investment Forum, Businesspeople Will Unify the Region
Although the establishment of the Chamber Investment Forum has shown itself to be a great move that's yielding tangible results in terms of increases level of trade and business cooperation, support from the governments of the region remains insufficient. We see one possible solution to this in the establishment of ministries for regional cooperation within each government, just as Nordic countries have regional cooperation ministers

Nordic Business Forum: Lesson to be Learned – Competitors and Teammates
The investment forum that brings together Nordic and Western Balkan companies will be an inspiring event and an opportunity for Serbian companies and decision makers, as well as for their regional counterparts, to use the occasion to learn how to become leaders, and how to play for the same team
H.E. Anders Christian Hougård Ambassador Of Denmark to Serbia
Goal Worth Fighting For
It is our hope that the success stories of Danish companies operating in Serbia will persuade more of their counterparts to invest in the country. However, this is a two-way street. We would still expect Serbian central and local governments to maintain their efforts to improve the business environment, digitise services and enforce the rule of law. The list of tasks might seem long, but the end-result is worth fighting for
H.E. Pertti Juhani Ikonen Ambassador Of Finland to Serbia
Do Just As the Nordics Do
Finnish companies have positive experiences of doing business in Serbia. However, Serbia should exert additional efforts to make the business environment more competitive, transparent and predictable

Time to Take Responsibility
The road to a more sustainable everyday life is long and demanding. In Norway, we often talk about regulating material selection so that products are less harmful to the planet
H.E. Arne Sannes Bjørnstad, Ambassador of Norway to Serbia
Further Attention Must Be Given to Information Security
We work with the Serbian Government to prepare legislation on information security in line with EU standards. This is probably our most important contribution. We want to be a partner in E-governance

Nordic Challenges
World’s Happiest People
Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland (collectively the Nordic countries) have a combination of high living standards and low income disparity that has captured the world’s attention. At a time when the growing gap between the rich and poor has become a political hot button in developed nations, the region known as Scandinavia has been cited by many scholars as a role model for economic opportunity and equality
The Nordic Model
Embracing Globalisation & Sharing Risks
The Nordic social model holds the highest level of social insurance. Its main characteristic is its universal provision nature, which is based on the principle of "citizenship". Therefore, there exists a more generalised access, with lower conditionability, to the social provisions
Why Nordic Model Is Still Better Than Most?
The Nordic Puzzle
The Nordic countries have, in the last ten years, been ranked consistently as the “world’s best countries to live in”. Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland have become icons of fair societies, with both high economic productivity and an unequalled quality of life
Retrospective 2014/2018
