Serbia's
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications
Rasim Ljajic reiterated yesterday the petition to Prime Minister of Kazakhstan
Karim Massimov for the export of 5,000 cars made in Serbia on the market of the
Customs Union.
After the meeting in Astana, Ljajic said that Kazakhstan has been the only
country of the Customs Union so far, which also comprises Russia and Belarus,
that was against it because it wanted to protect its local production.
The Prime Minister of Kazakhstan promised to examine that petition once more
and to do everything he can so that the petition be accepted, the Deputy Prime
Minister of Serbia said.
When it comes to economic relations between the two countries, for Serbia it is
the most important that it brought back this question to the negotiating table,
he added.
According to Ljajic, another key issue in today's talks was the formation of
joint ventures, especially in the field of agriculture and the pharmaceutical
industry, bearing in mind the interests of both sides and the complementarity
of the two economies in these sectors.
