– Due to the large number of our companies operating in Serbia, as well as those wishing to establish contacts or open their companies in Serbia, the need for HGK as an institution to be present on the ground has become evident. That is why we are reopening the office in Belgrade, which will promote and represent the interests of the Croatian economy. We will place special focus on establishing better business relations between the economic entities of the two countries, attracting investments, transferring technology and knowledge, and monitoring legal regulations in the field of the economy. We are confident that the office will contribute to further improving economic ties between Croatia and Serbia, to our mutual benefit, said HGK President Luka Burilović, adding that the opening of the branch is another step towards strengthening the export orientation of the Croatian economy and sustainable long-term economic growth.
