Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic says Russian capital is welcome in Serbia, as it is "in the interests of both countries." "We’ve managed to convince our friends in Moscow that Serbia doesn’t discriminate against Russian capital and considers Russian investors first among equals," said Djelic last night, at the start of the Serbian delegation’s three-day visit to the Russian Federation. Djelic: Russian capital is welcome He said that during his conversation with Sergey Shoigu, responsible for the Russian Federation’s relations with Serbia, Serbia’s position as a transit country for a large pipeline project – which is currently under construction - had been "strengthened in the eyes of the Russian government and Gazprom. " "Serbia is ready to build a large-scale underground storage facility, and to take part in building complexes for electric and heat energy production," said the deputy prime minister, adding that a decision had to be taken to approve the construction of the pipeline through Serbia. According to him, a memorandum of understanding had been signed last December, and Serbia now wanted to implement the project as soon as possible. Voicing the opinion that cooperation between Serbia and the Russian Federation was progressing well, Djelic reminded that Putnik and Termoelektro have already been taken over by Russian owners, and added that support was being sought from the Russian government for the company, Rosborom Eksport, to take over Prvo Petoletka. "Part of the tenders already announced, for Jat Airways, Jat Tehnika and RTB Bor, are attracting a lot of attention on the part of Russian investors, and that’s proof that Russian capital is more than welcome in Serbia, and that it is in our mutual interests," said the deputy prime minister. Besides the meeting with government representatives and President Vladimir Putin’s administration, the Serbian delegation in Moscow met with the managing boards of Gazprom, Lukoil, Nestor Bank, and Moscow Bank. Talks are due to resume today with representatives of Russian companies and partners in Moscow, and on Friday the government delegation will travel to Sochi.
