By opening the first negotiation chapters in its EU talks on Monday, Serbia will open the door to Europe, but for me and all 250 members of the Italian-Serbian Business Chamber, Europe is already here, says Italian Ambassador to Serbia Giuseppe Manzo.

We are working together on our common future in Europe, Manzo said at Thursday’s gala dinner organised by the Chamber.

The year 2015 was excellent for Italy in Serbia, he noted, adding that an unprecedented period, during which Italian President Sergio Mattarella, Senate President Pietro Grasso and Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni all visited Belgrade, started a year ago with a meeting between Prime Ministers Aleksandar Vucic and Matteo Renzi in Rome.

This is also confirmed by figures that place Italy and its companies in the top position in terms of trade and investments in Serbia, he said.
