LIVE Vučić: "We dreamed about this"
The President began his tour by visiting the Siemens Mobility plant in Cerovac near Kragujevac.
Vui held a meeting with the heads of the company, and then visited the plant for the production of elements for rail vehicles.
"We dreamed about this," Vucic pointed out on that occasion.
The president got acquainted with the production process, talked to the workers and asked them about the working conditions in the factory. Vui said that Siemens is also making trains for the regional railways that Belgrade needs for lines, for example, to Lazarevac and other suburban places.
"Siemens is great, and we will have other factories in Serbia that will produce trams and trains," Vucic said during the tour.
