10th Purchasing Initiative Western Balkans in numbers: ✔️ 99 suppliers from the Western Balkans of whom 22 come from Serbia ✔️ 20+ German buyers ✔️ 300+ scheduled B2B meetings   Representatives of companies from the Western Balkans point out that the most important thing for working with German companies is to gain trust, which comes over time, but that the market of this region can and should learn a lot from German companies. Milan Mladenović, the Development Manager at Mecafor, says that this company has been operating in Kikinda for more than 18 years. "We are here as a possible supplier for German companies. I am a participant for the second year in a row, and the company for longer," said Mladenović, emphasizing that they are satisfied with the project, which has been going on for a decade, and that more and more business opportunities are opening each year. The Sales Manager of the METECH Ltd company in Smederevo, Aleksandar Jovanović, points out that their experience when it comes to this initiative is excellent. “We learned a lot, made a lot of contacts. We are participating for the tenth time," said Jovanović, emphasizing that the biggest benefit from cooperation with German companies is doing business with stable companies and the acquired knowledge. "We gained new knowledge and got to know new business techniques and specific methods for specific industries," said Jovanović. The Managing Director of AVEXCOR from Inđija, Mile Savić, states that the company deals with metal processing and that he is present at these B2B meetings for the second time. "The initiative does not give immediate results, but long-term ones. It takes time and resources to use this potential, but it is certainly a very good opportunity for everyone," said Savić. According to him, the company has achieved two cooperations after one year of participating in the project, adding that the market of Serbia and the Balkans has a lot to learn about the European market, as well as the demands of both European and German customers. Supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK), and Bundesverband Materialwirtschaft, Einkauf und Logistik e.V. (BME), this Initiative continues to drive regional cooperation and integration into the EU market. #PartnerInSerbia
