Vojvodina, China’s province Shandong sign agreement on cooperation

The agreement enables incentives in the areas of the economy, trade and tourism as well as the promotion of joint investments and investment projects in agriculture, the processing of food products, science and technology, education, culture, transportation, the Vojvodina administration said.

Among other things, the participants of the event concluded that the opening of a China-Europe railway distributive center in Vojvodina’s town of Indjija has opened new possibilities for a faster and better transportation of goods between China and Serbia.

“The Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and Shandong province are deepening cooperation in all areas and in this way we would like to attract new investments in our country, thereby contributing to overall relations between Serbia and China, which have an ironclad friendship,” Gojkovic said.

She added that largest number of infrastructure projects in Serbia had come precisely from the Shandong province, like the Linglong factory in Zrenjanin, which is “the biggest greenfield investment ever in Serbia.”

The agreement was signed on the first day of a conference of local leaders of China and Central and Eastern Europe, said the press release.
