Prime Minister Mickoski stated today that some of the investors who have announced plans to leave Serbia, following the elections there, plan to relocate to Macedonia.
“One of the investors leaving Serbia will relocate here,” the Prime Minister announced.
There are several reasons for the departures from Serbia, including the reduction or complete elimination of subsidies, rising wages for workers, the crisis in the automotive industry, and the uncertain political climate in the country. Mickoski noted that trade between Macedonia and Serbia exceeds one billion euros, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that Macedonian companies do not face any difficulties with the political situation there.
So far, companies that have announced their departure from Serbia include Draexlmaier (a manufacturer of automotive cables), the Turkish firm Teklas (which produces auto parts), the Italian hosiery manufacturer Veli, and the textile company Aster.
