    1. English version:

    Dear friends,

    On my great pleasure I accepted the proposal of Mr.Zulus to become co-moderator of our Serbia group. Since I joined this group some time ago, I tried to participate in best possible manner and like all members to try to do something more for Serbia in order to restore its reputation in Europe and world.

    I am 28 years old, International Relations professional with MA in International Relations and US affairs, and significant professional experience in working with/for foreign investment companies, economic diplomatic representatives and EU funded projects. I have lived in Spain for some time, studying EU – Iberoamerican affairs and the importance of Spain in EU. During studies in order to finance them, I had several engagements and internships in foreign companies entering Serbia.

    I strongly believe that Serbia has potentials who can provide economic and sustainable development. Decisive orientation to changes, political and economical, is the key of Serbia development.
    Serbia is, we might say, emerging market left outside of EU. With all its advantages Serbia might explore the fact that it can provide more and better in comparison to our neighbors. In addition to EU public awareness of Serbia possibilities and perspective, constant promotional work might give excellent and profitable results. Reconciliation within Balkan states with establishment of regional business cooperation , political stability and decisive willingness, might get Serbia not in EU but at least to the point where it can be recognized as reliable partner.

    Currently I am engaged as Investment Program Manager & Investment Consultant to a certain foreign company entering Serbia. I had several similar activities through Gerson Lehrman Group Councils, from preparation to realization of investment with all its preparatory and operational activities.

    For some time I am fully engaged in the local Serbian Business & Investment Promotion Initiative Invest in Obrenovac Serbia http://www.investinobrenovac.com, local business & EU oriented initiative. So far the investors relied on the Siepa information & activities who have done excellent work for Serbia with limited resources. Our idea, as pilot project, was to present one local community, its advantages and possibilities, to establish cooperation with other perspective cities in Serbia in order to attract attention of investors. The responses and comments of embassies & economic diplomatic core and foreign companies in the region is more than excellent, still we were hoping to this reactions. Specific actions and cooperation is established with all interested foreign parties like foreign economic representatives and trade missions in Serbia. We have great plans for continuation and development of the project and we are hoping for cooperation with all similar and interested parties.

    And as for the activities on Serbia Xing group I truly hope we can all participate for the benefit of Serbia.

    Kind regards

    Vladimir Markovic, MA

    2. Srpska verzija:

    Postovani prijatelji,

    Na moje veliko zadovoljstvo sam prihvatio predlog g.Zulusa da postanem ko-moderator nase Srbija grupe. Od kada sam postao clan ove grupe, trudio sam se da participiram na najbolji moguci nacin i da kao i svi ostali clanovi probam da uradim nesto vise za Srbiju kako bi obnovili reputaciju Srbije u Evropi i svetu.

    Imam 28 godina, profesionalno se bavim medjunarodnim odnosima sa masterom iz Medjunarodnih odnosa i Americkih odnosa, I sa znacajnim profesionalnim iskustvom u radu sa stranim investicionim kompanijama, diplomatskim ekonomskim predstavnistvima kao I EU finansiranim projektima. Neko vreme sam ziveo u Spaniji, studirao EU-Iberoamericke odnose i uticaj Spanije na EU. Tokom studija radi finansiranja istih, imao sam dosta angazmana i prakse u okviru stranih kompanija koje su ulazile u Srbiju.

    Verujem da Srbija ima potencijala koji joj mogu obezbediti ekonomski odrzivi razvoj. Odlucna orijentacija ka promenama, politickim I ekonomskim, je kljuc razvoja Srbije.
    Srbija je mozemo tako reci, zanimljivo trziste, ostavljeno za sada van granica EU.Sa svim svojim prednostima Srbija mora naci nacin da eksplatise cinjenicu da moze pruziti vise I bolje od suseda. Pored postojecih EU saznanja o mogucnostima i perspektivama Srbije, konstantna promocija moze dati odlicne I profitabilne rezultate. Pomirenje medju balkanskim zemljama sa stvaranjem regionalne poslovne saradnje, politicka stabilnost and odlucnost, mozda mogu Srbiju odvesti ne u EU ali bar do tacke gde bi mogla biti prepoznata kao pouzdani partner.

    Trenutno sam angazovan kao Investment Program Manager & Investment Consultant za jednu stranu kompaniju koja ulazi u Srbiju. Imao sam nekoliko slicnih aktivnosti kroz GLG savet, od priprema do realizacije investicije sa svim priprepnim i operativnim aktivnostima.

    Takodje sam vec neko vreme angazovan na jednom lokalnom srpskom projektu promocije investicionih I poslovnih mogucnosti Invest in Obrenovac http://www.investinobrenovac.com, lokalnoj poslovnoj I EU orijentisanoj inicijativi. Do sada su se svi investitori oslanjali na podatke i aktivnosti Siepa-e koja je uradila odlican posao sa ogranicenim sredstvima. Ideja naseg pilot projekta jesta da predstavi jednu lokalnu zajednicu, njene prednosti i mogucnosti, da ostvari saradnju sa drugim perspektivnim gradovima u Srbiji, a u cilju privlacenja paznje investitora.
    Reakcije i komentari ambasada, ekonomskih diplomatskih predstavnistava su vise nego dobri, mi smo se svakako tome i nadali. Konkretne akcije i saradnja je uspostavljena sa stranim zainteresovanim stranama kao sto su predstavnistva stranih privrednih komora u Srbiji. Imamo velike planove za nastavak projekta i svakako se nadamo saradnji sa svim slicnim i zainteresovanim stranama.

    Pozdrav

    Vladimir Markovic, MA
