Belgrade March 04, 2010 (Serbia Today) – Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Regional Development Mladjan Dinkic and Algerian Minister for Water Resources and Co-Chairperson of the joint committee for economic cooperation with Serbia Abdulmalek Sellal stated on Tuesday that Serbia and Algeria must improve economic cooperation.
Dinkic, who is heading a Serbian delegation on a three day visit to Algeria, said during talks that cooperation should be restored to the level at which it was during the 1980s, when as a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, Algeria was one of former Yugoslavia’s top economic partners. Speaking at a meeting, which was also attended by representatives of Algerian and Serbian businesses in the area of water resources, Dinkic stressed that the Serbian delegation’s visit is a great opportunity for Serbian companies to work in Algeria, which is one of the richest North African countries and is planning to start a $150 billion, four year, investment cycle. The Serbian delegation also includes Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac and Minister of Youth and Sports Snezana Samardzic-Markovic, who met today with their Algerian counterparts. During this visit, Dinkic will meet with Algerian Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia, and he will also have separate meetings with five ministers and the governor. The Serbian business delegation is represented by some 60 representatives of leading Serbian companies. A business forum will be held tomorrow at which businessmen of the two countries will discuss future cooperation. The football national team of Serbia also arrived to Algeria together with the Serbian state delegation and they will play a friendly match with the Algerian national team tomorrow.
