President of the U.S.-Serbia Business Council John Saylor said that “Serbia is not offering anything that would attract American companies and investments.” “The U.S. simply is not that interested in this market,” he said. “Serbia not attractive to U.S. companies” He added that “Serbia is not an economic factor for the U.S., but a political one, if you take into consideration its location, size and Washington’s interests to secure regional stability.” “The current amount of economic and trade relations is very small, though we had important investors in Serbia at one point. Russia is now the main trade partner of the country, and then Germany and the Central European and Balkan countries,” Saylor said. “There are very few people here who know about Serbia or Serbian products,” he said, adding that the Serbian government needs to open new economic headquarters outside of just Chicago and include one in Washington, because that is where the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and many larges businesses are located. Saylor said that Serbia cannot allow “political questions, such as Kosovo, to dominate bilateral relations.” He said that Serbia “in looking for direct foreign investments, must define its most attractive products as a supporting factor for foreigners.” He said that Serbia must also improve its infrastructure, since companies that come to Serbia will not only be selling their products in Serbia. Saylor reminded that U.S. ambassador to Serbia Mary Warlick said that Serbian tourists and businesspeople will be allowed to receive American visas for a ten-year period. “This is excellent, and at the same time, it is not easy to get an American visa. A liberal visa approach would encourage people to come to the U.S. and vice versa, to investigate business possibilities, which would be in the interest of both sides,” Saylor said.
