He stressed that Italy is interested in the further cooperation between the two countries andthe cooperation with local institutions and doing business aswel.

-For years Trieste has been representing the Belgrade door to Italy and Europe. It is natural that we now have the office of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region in Belgrade.
