Čadež: “Serbia Export” for Faster and More Efficient Cooperation with Africa

Addressing participants of the second conference “Serbia – Africa 2025: Dignity” organized by the Security-Information Agency (BIA), President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, Marko Čadež, highlighted that the CCIS has established a special company to facilitate economic cooperation between African countries and Serbia.

We have founded ‘Serbia Export’, a platform for trade and joint projects with African economies, which operates on the model of large foreign trade companies. Through this platform, we can implement joint projects with African industries, support Serbian and African businesses, and carry out import-export operations, investments, and knowledge transfer,” Čadež said.

He noted that a special catalogue has already been created, featuring profiles of more than 50 companies from Serbia across various industries that are interested in collaborating with African partners. By establishing Serbia Export, companies gain a single point of contact throughout all phases of project implementation, institutional guarantees, and support for easier mutual business operations and handling day-to-day challenges.

“Many of these domestic companies are already present in African markets, and they are interested not only in exporting to new African markets, but also in investments and joint projects with partners from the African continent,” Čadež added.

Serbia’s trade exchange with African countries amounted to $1.3 billion in 2024 and has significant potential for growth. Serbia also aims to become a logistics and production hub for African companies on their path toward the European market.
