IZIT experts believe that Serbia needs to find a strategic partner for JAT Airways as soon as possible, as otherwise, the airline could go under. Sasa Djogovic from the Marketing Research Institute (IZIT) told a press conference that the company should have been privatized last year, adding that the state had let Jat down, and that a strategic partner should be found right away, without any tender. "Jat crying out for strategic partner" Djogovic said that the state had to act as a businessman and have a vision for development and a plan to attract foreign investment. "Serbia does not have a strategic vision of the country’s development,” Djogovic warned, citing the Horgos-Pozega highway debacle and the failed RTB Bor tenders as particularly bad examples. The analyst said that IZIT supported the deals with Russia and Fiat, because they were in the best interests of Serbia’s economy. He said that the arrangement with Russia had helped bring Fiat to Serbia, as the automotive giant was counting on Serbia’s ties with Moscow to allow it to establish a foothold on the Russian market. Djogovic said that Serbia needed to start harmonizing its laws with those of the EU and take action to tackle crime and corruption. "We should be working on harmonizing regulations, because it is in Serbia’s own interests,” the analyst stressed.
