LAKTAŠI, SEPTEMBER 26 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik stated that Srpska is favorable for business and, due to its economic policies, represents an attractive destination for foreign investors, which was demonstrated today in Aleksandrovac near Laktaši, where a modern foundry of the Italian company PMP, worth 35 million Euros, was opened.
Dodik emphasized that institutions will continue to support such investments throughout Republika Srpska.
"From Trebinje to Novi Grad, the same conditions apply for foreign investors, and they recognize this," Dodik said in Laktaši after the opening ceremony of the foundry.
Dodik expressed his gratitude that the company owner, Mr. Luigino Pozzo, saw this area and Republika Srpska as an investment zone capable of meeting their business interests.
"Mr. Pozzo is now our business ambassador across Italy and Europe, and I hope this example will be enough to attract more companies here," Dodik emphasized.
He said that it is always positive to hear about the opening of new facilities, especially since this is a multimillion-euro project.
"People are valued by what they leave behind. This factory will remain for decades. Everything here is produced for foreign markets and will contribute to the development of Republika Srpska's economy," Dodik said.
Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and the owner and director of the Italian company PMP Luigino Pozzo officially opened the foundry in the Aleksandrovac business zone in Laktaši, the most modern in Europe.
This investment is worth 35 million Euros and will operate under the Italian PMP Group.
In the first phase, they plan to employ 100 workers, increasing to 300 at full capacity.
Once completed, the entire facility could reach investments of 100 million euros.
