Ministers Hari Kostov and Anton Rop concluded at the business forum on

intensify the cooperation between business subjects and to find solutions
for possible problems in the frameworks of the legal regulations," Kostov
said, ordering to Macedonian and Slovenian businessmen to intensify the
previous contacts.
According to Rop, such meetings are an excellent opportunity to exchange
experiences and to agree new projects and investments, which will result in
export and import increase.
"We have made a lot of investments in the last year. Such trend
continues, but we also expect foreign investments. I would mention the
"Renault" investment of Euro 400 million," Rop said.
Macedonian Minister of Economy Stevco Jakimovski pointed out that the
customs administration in the country functioned very well, but the
corruption was an exception not a regulation and all foreign investments
were welcomed.
