On January 26, 2021, the Director of FIPA, Milica Marković, had a meeting in Belgrade with the Director of the Development Agency of Serbia (RAS), Mr Radoš Gazdić.

RAS is a government organization that offers a wide range of services, including direct investment support, fostering competitiveness and export promotion, as well as implementing projects aimed at improving Serbia's economic reputation.

Mrs Marković presented the activities that FIPA implements in order to present the investment potentials of BiH. On that occasion, she initiated joint activities related to the promotion of the region, and additional attraction of investments from Serbia to BiH, which is currently the third investor country in BiH.

Marković and Gazdić agreed to conclude a Memorandum of Understanding between FIPA and RAS, after its approval by the BiH Presidency.

They also discussed the plans of the American Investment Fund DFC, which opened an office in Belgrade at the end of last year, from which it will cover Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region, and their credit and guarantee scheme and products for companies.

FIPA will soon organize a meeting with the director of the DFC office in Belgrade to discuss plans for BiH, offer for BiH companies and attracting investments from the USA.
