Zrenjanin

ZRENJANIN - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday a Linglong tyre factory in Zrenjanin, northeastern Serbia, was by far the largest-ever greenfield investment in the country and that 1,235 Serbian workers had been hired already in the first stage of the plant's operations.

A11, an NGO dealing with violations of workers' rights, said that private security men arrived at the construction site for a factory for Chinese tyre manufacturer Shandong Linglong Tire in the city of Zrenjanin on Tuesday and began blocking access to Vietnamese workers who have been the focus of exploitation allegations this week.

"Before the end of the year, we will start building the sewerage system on the left bank of the Danube," said Aleksandar Vui on that occasion, adding that the necessary documentation for that project is now being completed.
"It will be a big and most important project, but we found the money and we will start with it soon," said Vucic.

Challis does not specify where exactly the mural is located, but thinks that the work is great and represents a real piece of art.
The painting that occupies an entire wall shows Del Boy, Rodney and Uncle Albert, together with the unavoidable quote: "This time next year, we'll be millionaires", written in Serbian.

This is the largest investment in Vojvodina worth more than EUR 800 million and that the whole Serbia will have huge profits from that factory, the president said, according to the Serbian government.

Serbian officials on Tuesday signed agreements with China worth $3 billion during a two-day visit to Beijing, which include Chinese economic investments and the purchase of new military equipment by Belgrade.

Kosovo is likely to be a hot issue at the upcoming Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church, which has taken a lead position in attacking talk of Kosovo's partition, or of recognising its independence, Church experts say.

He said that in regards to announcements that the Kosovo president Hashim Thaci would submit the topic of Presevo Valley to the upcoming dialogue in Brussels.

The factory would be built in the City of Zrenjanin, said the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic and added that they were waiting for the contract.

ZRENJANIN - Economically, Serbia has done more than any other country in the region over the past three years, and that is why a perception of the Western Balkans by international financial institutions as a stable region suits it more than it does any other country in the neighbourhood, Serbian PM Ana Brnabic said Tuesday.
