The meeting of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, Macedonian Prime Minister Dimitar Kovachevski and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama was held in the town hall of Bardolini, Italy, as part of the Open Balkans initiative, which is the first time in this format that it has been held outside the borders of the Western Balkans.
At the joint press conference, Vučić said that they discussed how to help ordinary people and how to remove all obstacles to enable free trade and free flow of goods.
The Serbian president also said that an agreement was reached to complete the process of securing work permits, which will be the basis of the economic cooperation of the three states.
Vučić added that the trade exchange between Serbia and Macedonia is increasing and that it has increased by about 50 percent in the last three years.
