PM Mirko Cvetkovic says that he expected the economic growth in Serbia next year to be around 1.5 percent. He added that a return to a significantly higher growth rate, like the one from before the global economic crisis, was expected in 2011. PM opens Serbian Economic Forum "The Serbian government is approaching economic issues seriously in order to improve the investment climate in Serbia," Cvetkovic said in Belgrade on Monday, opening the 9th Serbian Economic Summit. The prime minister told the gathering that the government policy focuses above all on integration into Europe and good relations with other world partners too. Cvetkovic also noted that Serbia expects visa liberalization for travel to the European Union as of January 1, 2010. "This will secure the free flow of passengers in addition to the free flow of capital and goods," he said. As for "the free flow of capital and goods", the prime minister continued, "it being realized through the implementation of the Interim Trade Agreement with the EU, which is currently formally frozen but is actually working," Cvetkovic said. The trade deal that Serbia has been unilaterally implementing since the start of 2009, is part of the SAA, which Brussels suspended a year and a half ago, immediately after its signing, citing Serbia's insufficient cooperation with the Hague Tribunal.
