(ANSA) - ROME - ''Eastern Europe is one of the most interesting areas for Italian industry, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to invest, but also for those who want to develop big projects'', according to the head of Confindustria, Vincenzo Boccia. The chairman of Italian industrialists' association relaunched his organisation's commitment to business internationalisation from the general assembly of Confindustria Balkans in Bucharest. ''The partnership for co-development is a new path which is worth considering, and even banks and finance can play an important role in this context'' he said. ''In these years, the Confindustria's approach to business internationalisation has changed considerably'', but we must go forward, Boccia warned, ''by building a new model for business and representation''. A meeting between the chairman of Italian industrialists' association and the President of the Republic of Romania, Klaus Johannis, was held on Wednesday with a Confindustria delegation accompanied by Ambassador Diego Brasioli. The general assembly of Confindustria Balkans (a federation made up of Italian industrialists in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Albania) has also elected Mauro Maria Angelini as new president.
