About
Whether you’re considering entering the Serbian market or looking to strengthen existing partnerships, this event will give you a comprehensive overview of Serbia’s business climate, key sectors, and ongoing projects. Hear directly from Belgian companies already active in Serbia, connect with experts and peers, and discover how your business can benefit from the country’s dynamic growth and strategic position in the Western Balkans.
