(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUNE 24 - Serbia's president Aleksandar
Vucic announced the launch by the end of the year of a new and
huge investment cycle ranging between 5 and 10 billion euros,
aiming to support and accelerate the country's development and

Vucic underlined that this is going to be the largest
investment program ever in Serbia, and specified that the plan
could be completed within 4-5 years.

president said yesterday during his visit to 'Belgrade on the
water', a large urban project funded by Arab capitals, including
a new residential neighborhood on the Sava shores, made up of
futuristic buildings, green areas, cutting-edge services.
The new investment, the president said, will mainly support
the construction of infrastructure projects, roads, highways,
railways, undergrounds, in order to fill the gap in the
connection of Serbia to Western Europe, something that will
favor an economic growth by 5% -6%, creating at the same time
new jobs.

international brands to Serbia and Belgrade in order to attract
more tourists, especially from Asia. "Among other things, we are
now negotiating with Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci". (ANSA).
