At the Weekend Food Festival in Rovinj, as part of the promotion of the Wine Vision and Food Vision by Open Balkan events, a masterclass "Brandy - the undiscovered pearl of the Balkans" was held.
Dr. Ivan Urošević's workshop on the aromas of Serbian brandies was extremely well attended. With the support of Aleksandar Ilić and the dedicated team of the multi-awarded Junior Chefs Club, Dr. Urošević introduced the audience to the specifics of Serbian brandy, as well as the pairings of different flavors of brandy, apricot brandy, vilijamovka, quince, and plum brandy, with appropriate salty bites.<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/rakija_foodfest023_nzg_200424.JPG" id="image-tag-1713782025922" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1170"></div> "Rakija is a new "refreshment" in the category of alcoholic beverages. We aroused people's interest in brandy and made them think about this drink in a different way, from an unusual, hedonistic angle, by combining it with food. The great interest in this masterclass indicates that there is plenty of room for this topic to be expanded and elaborated," said Dr. Urošević, assistant professor at the Faculty of Agriculture in Bijeljina, international evaluator of strong alcoholic beverages and vice president of the Board of Directors of the Association of Brandy Producers of Serbia.<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/rakija_foodfest010_nzg_200424.JPG" id="image-tag-1713782018072" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1167"></div> Tomaž Kavčić, "Michelin" chef and creative director of the Food Vision by Open Balkan event, which is held as part of the Wine Vision by Open Balkan fair, greeted the attendees and invited them to this year's fair, which will be held in the halls of the Belgrade Fair, in the period 22 - November 24, 2024.

A Successfully Held Masterclass on Brandies at the Weekend Food Festival in Rovinj

The Serbian gaming industry has managed to maintain stability and increase revenue and employment numbers, despite the challenges brought by the year 2023, according to the research done by the Serbian Gaming Association&nbsp;(SGA). The annual report shows that the 15 most successful gaming companies had a revenue of 175 million euros in 2023, with 57 percent of companies developing original products. Furthermore, games produced in Serbia were bought or downloaded more than one hundred million times.
The significant growth in the number of employees is the most notable change from the previous year, with an increase of 98 percent, leading to an estimation of 4,300 gaming professionals working in Serbia. This growth is attributed to the large number of gaming professionals and their families who moved to Serbia from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, along with leading global companies such as Wargaming, Playrix, and Sperasoft, having their largest representative offices in Serbia. This influx of knowledge and experience is expected to significantly affect the domestic gaming industry.
Another interesting fact is that 475 new positions are planned to be opened this year, and 28 percent of employees in the industry are women. 
Despite the obstacles of lack of financial opportunities, high taxes, and complex bureaucratic procedures, most companies and studios continue to find success through direct sales. This testifies to the fact that video games created in Serbia are successful enough to ensure the independence of studios, expansion of teams, and work on new projects, which continues to prove that gaming is one of the promising sectors of the domestic innovation ecosystem. 
The report aims to showcase the current state of the ecosystem to all relevant players in the gaming industry, stakeholders, decision-makers, and the general public while highlighting its enormous potential. From 2017 until today, the domestic gaming industry has recorded continuous growth and development, which is especially significant considering the global instability in many industries, including gaming, in 2023. Serbia remains an exception when it comes to major shutdowns of studios or projects. 
The report was presented by Mihailo Vesovic, director of Sector for strategic analysis, services and Internationalization of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, executive manager of the Serbian Gaming Association,&nbsp;Kristina Janković Obućina and&nbsp;&nbsp;Mihajlo Jovanović-Džaril, CEO of Serbian Gaming Association.

 Serbian Gaming Industry Increased both Revenues and the Number of Employees

The "InterConnect" conference, held in Belgrade today, brought together representatives of 18 international and more than 80 domestic companies from the metal, rubber, plastic, and engineering industries in one place with the aim of introducing Serbian companies and companies from the region into supply chains of large European and global customers.

<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/Konferencija InterConnect 17. april 2024 (19).JPG" id="image-tag-1713363761368" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1150"></div>

InterConnect is organized by the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia and the company Convestensics, with the support of the "Big Small Business" Project funded by USAID and implemented by ACDI/VOCA. The "InterConnect" conference has grown into a unique platform that brings Serbian and Western Balkan companies closer to the European market in the most practical way and includes them in supply chains, said Mihailo Vesović, Director of the Sector for Strategic Analysis, Services, and Internationalization at the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia.&nbsp;
"Serbia and the Western Balkans must present themselves as a region that provides an answer to the question of who we will cooperate with and who will be part of our supplier chains, which are those reliable companies that will be able to deliver equipment and parts on time and at the right price for large customers, first of all for European customers, but also globally," said Vesović.
According to him, Serbian and regional companies, in addition to their tradition and experience, can provide foreign customers with technology, as well as speed and quality of goods delivery. "In this way, we want to bring closer and bring down to the concrete terrain of business relations what is most important at the moment, which is to find the right place for the Serbian and regional economy within the European economy," said Vesović.

<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/Konferencija InterConnect 17. april 2024 (25).JPG" id="image-tag-1713363827738" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1156"></div>
Christopher Hill, Ambassador of the United States of America to Serbia, says that the "InterConnect" conference provides the opportunity to connect Serbian companies from the machinery and equipment sector with companies from Europe interested in buying Serbian products. "The fact is that Serbia will be part of the European Union, and the preparations for that are not only political but also economic. And this is not about politics, but about the fact that companies in the world want to shorten their supply chains and get everything they need for production from closer destinations. Serbia has a rich tradition in the mechanical industry and this initiative should inform foreign companies about Serbia's offer in that sector. "The most important job of the American Embassy in Belgrade and the American Agency for International Development (USAID) is to help Serbia become a part of the European Union," said Hill. 

<div class="article-photo"><img src="https://en-api.pks.rs/storage/assets/Konferencija InterConnect 17. april 2024 (17).JPG" id="image-tag-1713363843910" data-image-alignment="article-photo" data-image-size-id="original" data-asset-id="1148"></div>
Matijas Loidold, director of the company Convestenics, says that today's event brought together suppliers and bidders in one place with a focus on the most important industrial sectors in Serbia, such as metal, mechanical, plastic, and rubber industries. "When we gather suppliers and bidders together in one place, that is the best way for the economy in the region to function," Loidold pointed out. 
Today, the conference gathered 18 international companies that are potential customers and that need to find suppliers and see an opportunity for that in this region. More than 200 B2B meetings with 85 companies from Serbia and the region are scheduled for today at the "Hilton" hotel.

He explains that "Purem" employs more than 10,000 workers and has an annual turnover of over 6.5 billion euros. "The forum is an exceptional opportunity to maintain previously established contacts and create new ones with companies and suppliers, and an opportunity to expand our cooperation to other suppliers and achieve even better cooperation in Serbia."

"Serbia and Kenya can be good partners in the field of ICT because in this sector Serbia is recording exceptional success." Also, there is significant unused potential in the fields of agriculture, construction, tourism, and other areas. That is why the two chambers of commerce will sign a Memorandum of Cooperation in the following&nbsp;period in order to strengthen the economic ties of the two countries," announced Čadež. The delegation of Kenya, led by Dr. Eric Ruto, president of KNCCI, presented the current needs of the Kenyan market at the meeting and invited Serbian companies to invest in that African country.

At the meeting, it was stated that Serbia can offer Kenya agricultural technology and machinery, seeds, fertilizers, experience in business digitization processes, services and products from the construction sector, and related infrastructure, medicine, and more. The delegation from Kenya will visit several Serbian institutes and companies in the following days in order to learn about the capacities of our economy and potentially agree on cooperation.

Visitors to the Vinitaly fair in Verona, as well as professionals, can taste more than 240 wines from Serbia, North Macedonia, and Albania, and for the first time this year at this prestigious fair, our brandy producers and gastronomic specialties are also represented, says Marko Obradović, director of Marketing and Education Sector of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia.
A special treat for both visitors and participants is the presentation of the Food Vision by Open Balkan event and the culinary specialties that have already attracted a lot of attention.
"Our goal is to present our wines as well as the "Wine vision by Open Balkan" fair, which will be held in November this year in Belgrade. Around 1,200 large buyers are in Verona today looking, first of all, for Italian wines, but our goal is to impose and present our wines," says Obradović.
He emphasized that the wine industry of Serbia and the countries of&nbsp;Open Balkan continue with presentations&nbsp;at world fairs. "After participating in Dusseldorf, we are here for the second time at the prestigious Italian wine fair in Verona, and after this fair, we plan presentations&nbsp;at wine fairs in London and Shenzhen, and at the end of the year in Shanghai," said Obradović.
&nbsp;Stevan Rajta, director of the Union of Winemakers and Winegrowers of Serbia, assessed that the appearance in Italy is very important for the wine industry of Serbia because it represents an opportunity for both small and medium-sized, as well as large winemakers, to improve their presence on the world market, but also an opportunity for our gastronomy and brandy.
According to Rajta, thanks to the cooperation with Vinitaly, we improved our performance on world markets, and the whole concept of regional representation of winemakers contributed to the breakthrough in South America, Western Europe, as well as Britain and China.
Journalists and professional visitors to the fair will have a unique opportunity to get to know the different terroirs and authentic varieties that grow in the Balkan vineyards at the masterclass entitled Discover the wines of the Balkans - Varieties and terroirs of Serbia, North Macedonia, and Albania. The masterclass will be held on Tuesday, April 16 at 10 a.m. and will be led by Igor Luković, editor of Vino & Fino magazine, wine critic, and judge.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of&nbsp;Serbia, with the support of the General Secretariat of the Government of Serbia, the Development Agency of Serbia, the Association of Winemakers and Winegrowers of Serbia, the Association of Brandy Producers of Serbia, and the Belgrade Fair, organized the "Wine Vision by Open Balkan" stand at the Vinitaly fair in Verona,&nbsp; from the 13th until April 17, where leading wines from Serbia, North Macedonia, and Albania will be presented.

At the opening of the "Digital AutoTech Forum", Marko Čadež, the president of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, stated that nearly half of Serbia's top 20 largest exporters are manufacturers of auto parts and components. He also revealed that 50 percent of Serbian exports to Germany consist of products from the mobility sector, which is the country's primary export destination.The president of CCIS further added that over 200 companies are employing about 100,000 people in the Serbian car parts industry, supplying customers abroad and that car manufacturers are planning to increase their digital investments in software solutions by up to 25 percent over the next few years. He also mentioned that many domestic companies are already part of the supply chains of international car companies, and PKS's priority is to have even more of them. According to Čadež, digitization, digital transformation, and artificial intelligence, along with all the innovations they bring are crucial for a successful business. Therefore, CCIS and its Center for Digital Transformation aim to support small, medium, and large companies to digitally transform and introduce innovations to increase capacity, efficiency, and productivity, and become part of the supply network of car manufacturers. The AutoTechForum, organized in cooperation with Pantheon Plus and CCIS, brought together experts from the car industry to discuss innovations and trends in this sector. The forum provided an excellent platform for exchanging ideas and discussing digital transformation in the automotive industry. During the event, attendees had the opportunity to see presentations by leading experts from various areas of the auto industry. Thematic focus included the advantages and challenges of electronic business, digital transformation in the auto industry, innovations, and technological trends.

Čadež: The Industry of Car Parts and Components is One of Our Biggest Exporters

The presidents of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia and the Chamber of Commerce of Kosovo, Marko Čadež and Ljulzim Rafuna, spoke today in Berlin with Manuel Sarrazin, the special envoy of the German government for the Western Balkans, about overcoming the challenges and obstacles faced by businessmen in the region.
"A little more than a week after our meeting with the American ambassador in Pristina, today we met with Sarrazin in Berlin to point out the problems that our business communities face in their daily work. There is a lot of talk about political problems, and we hear less and less about what businessmen have to solve in their field in order to work successfully," said Čadež after the meeting. Evaluating that&nbsp; in the field of political dialogue very little is happening, Čadež pointed out that he came with Rafuna to ask the German government to start working more actively with decision-makers in the Western Balkans, to revive the Berlin process and help accelerate the inclusion of the region in a single European economic market. According to Čadež, there are still a lot of open questions and unresolved problems, such as the inexplicable ban on the movement of goods from Serbia to Kosovo. For that move, Pristina has no understanding even in Berlin, but things are not being resolved, Čadež pointed out. "Both the president of the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce and I are trying to motivate politicians and decision-makers in leading countries in every possible way and point out that it is very important not only for Pristina and Belgrade but for the entire European economy to seek solutions. We have offered the support of business communities to work together to remove obstacles, so that while negotiations are ongoing and a political solution is being sought, companies can operate normally, earn money, employ, and new investments can come. This is what we want," said the president of the CCIS. He adds that he and Rafuna share the same business philosophy, which is to work on the things we have in common, not what separates us. "And that was our message here in Berlin: Please do more, because you really have enough power, enough strength to do much more than what is currently being done," says the president of the CCIS. We asked for support, as well as to be partners in the implementation of all agreements that we have to implement in the Western Balkans, because CIFWB6 stems from the Berlin process stated&nbsp;Rafuna after the meeting.

Čadež and Rafuna: We Ask Berlin to Step up its Support in Removing Barriers to Business in the Region

Prof. Dr. Ursula Renold, the world's leading expert on dual education, accepted the proposal of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia (CCIS) to take strategic leadership over the process of stronger inclusion of the Serbian economy in the education of young people. This was agreed upon at the meeting of the CCIS’ president Marko Čadež, and Prof.Ursula Renold, PhD in Belgrade, where they discussed the reorganization of the role of CCIS and its 16 regional chambers throughout Serbia to strengthen dual education following the requirements of companies. "The economy of Serbia today has an increasing need for personnel who already have developed skills. Since there are no such personnel in our country, we have an increasing number of personnel from abroad. That is why we have to introduce necessary, radical changes in dual education. We have to be ready for the transition to the next level of implementing dual education", said Čadež. 
The transition of the economy of Serbia to a new level of dual education means changes in the methodology of the curriculum for the application of dual education, a greater role of the economy in the implementation of the program, a longer stay of students in companies up to four days a week.
The Serbian economy is also demanding greater responsibility for companies in this process and amendments to the law not only on education but also on employment, as well as the possibility of selecting students who want to study under the dual model. One of the requirements is that the professional orientation of elementary school students be significantly improved and especially intensive starting from the 6th grade.
Currently, 950 companies participate in the dual education system of Serbia with the support of 186 schools. So far, about 8,000 students have completed dual education, while many more are currently studying. The most sought-after educational profiles are in the field of mechanical and metal industry (locksmith, welder, industrial mechanic, cutting machine operator, motor vehicle mechanic), then electrical engineering (electrician, mechatronics technician), catering (cook, waiter), and others.

Čadež: The World's Greatest  Expert Helps Serbia in Dual Education

The ceremony held at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia was attended by the President of the Serbian Parliament, Ana Brnabić, and the Minister of Science, Technological Development, and Innovation, Jelena Begović, PhD.

Brnabic expressed her gratitude for the recognition. She stressed that her vision as the president of the Serbian Parliament is to have a more active role in the Assembly in transforming and strengthening Serbia. She wants the legislative body to be even closer to the business community. Brnabic said, "Together with everyone in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, MPs, relevant working bodies and committees and parliamentary delegations, we can build a better and stronger bridge to the economy. We need to open the door for our economy, both for foreign investors and more significantly for the domestic economy. We need to support our micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, and family firms, and contribute to the development and strengthening of Serbia."
