Finding these talks very useful, Minister Šarović emphasized the importance of all the important conditions having been met and key agreements signed in order for the cooperation with China to continue to grow. "We expect to achieve EUR 750 million in mutual trade this year, which is a huge step for our country, and most importantly, we have created conditions for further progress," the Minister said.
