According to Sertic, the two countries’ exchange totalled EUR 170 million and it should be increased to EUR 500 million in the next two or three years.
Sertic said that Serbian companies can enter the Russian market through Belarus because Belarus has an exceptional trade network in Russia, and noted that the two countries can make a breakthrough on the markets through joint investments.
