Joint measures on the troubled Croatian-based company Agrokor will be considered at a Wednesday meeting in Belgrade of the trade ministers from Serbia [Rasim Lajic], Slovenia [Zdravko Pocivalsek], Bosnia [Mirko Sarovic] and Montenegro [Dragica Sekulic].

Minister Ljajic did not respond to BIRN's queries about whether Croatian representatives had also been invited to Belgrade.

"A meeting was held in a very positive atmosphere today between representatives of [state assets custodians] BAMC and SSH and Cimos's clients," BAMC, the Slovenian bad bank, wrote today after it become clear a few days ago that the Italian fund Palladio Finanziaria would not acquire the indebted company.

Serbia is open to Slovenian investments into expanding the tourist capacities, Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has said.

He made the comments during a meeting with Slovenian Minister of Economic Development Zdravko Pocivalsek on Thursday in Belgrade.
