Hellenic Sugar Ready for Expansion

28th February 2016

Our experience so far, and our potential, both corroborate expectations that Hellenic Sugar Serbia will become the leader of both Serbia and the region. Despite the fact that 2015 was the most perilous year for the sugar industry in Serbia, we meet 2016 with optimism.

Enlargement is a Strategic Investment

Interviews 1st July 2019

Candidate countries must meet all accession criteria, while the enlargement process must be credible with respect to both the EU and candidate countries.

It is a complex process that implies a shared vision of the future, commitments and their implementation, hard work and mutual trust – Peter Pellegrini

Can a future-proof education lead to a future-proof society and spark innovation?

FOCUS: Does conventional agriculture (still) represent our chance on the world market?

Serbia Can Utilise It’s Potentials More Intelligently

Focus 1st July 2019

If the export of conventional agriculture products implies wheat and corn, then we have long since learned the lesson that their production contributes little to economic growth and profitable exports. However, if we diversify production, focus on products with higher added value and introduce high standards in production, the possibility exists that we can generate profits on the resources we possess

5 Lessons from the European Election

Feature 1st July 2019

If European elections used to be a sedate affair, the 2019 iteration was anything but. Besides the obvious — a growing fragmentation of European politics, a solid but not dominant position of the far right and an increasingly green left — five lessons emerge from EU’s vote
