Dear Colleague,

A CLOSER PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN SERBIA AND CANADA

On behalf of the Embassy of the Republic of Serbia, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the Serbian Trade Mission 2008 that will be leading by Omniglobe Business Solutions and with our support.

The Canada-Serbia relationship truly is multidimensional. In the area of trade and investment, our countries share a vibrant and productive relationship which makes us important partners. Canada's overall cooperation and technical assistance programme in Serbia through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is also a valuable component of our relationship.

Canadian relations with Serbia certainly seem to be flourishing and further developing. Both countries offer excellent business opportunities for the companies in sectors as diverse as mining, telecommunications, engineering/development, agriculture and agri-food, transportation, software outsourcing, financial management, construction, defence sectors, health, education photonics, digital media and Information Communications and Technology (ICT).

Serbian Trade Missions 2008 are an excellent opportunity to introduce you to the vibrant Canadian markets while promoting Serbian products, services and technologies.

Omniglobe Business Solutions Ltd with our support will be the point of contact for all issues relating to market access or interaction with the Canadian companies and government, and will continue with its inward investment work. Its main roles will be:

• To be the link between Serbian and Canadian businesses and government
• To advise on market access and business opportunities
• To organize and deliver trade and investment seminars and other events
• To provide company-specific market research
• To organize trade missions to Canada and at trade fairs

In each country, the business programme will consist of seminars and workshops, networking opportunities, hospitality events and the chance to meet local business partners and leaders as well as other Canadian and Serbian business people active in the region.

Take advantage of this great opportunity to meet with potential buyers or partners in the world’s fastest growing market for goods and services. The mission will offer Serbian companies an opportunity to exhibit at different conference, attend business briefings, receive first hand market intelligence, present at seminars, and explore partnership opportunities through pre-arranged one-on-one meetings with potential buyers or partners.

Your participation as a member of the business delegation will also allow you the opportunity to strengthen business partnerships, meet new clients, enhance your overall visibility in Canada and bring business agreements to fruition. Both Canada and Serbia have much in common, and we are currently experiencing the great potential our countries have to work together on an ever-growing range of areas.

I look forward to your participation in this important mission

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Dušan T. Bataković
Ambassador of the Republic of Serbia
