Meeting on World Bank Priorities in Serbia

Meeting on World Bank Priorities in Serbia

FIC had the opportunity to take part in the consultations on the priority areas for the World Bank assistance to Serbia in the upcoming 5 years, held on May 13. At the meeting on the World Bank Country Partnership Framework for 2022 to 2026, FIC was represented by the Co-President of the Anti-Illicit Trade & Food Committee Dragana Stikic and Regulatory Officers Jelena Lazarevic and Tanja Jovanovic. Meeting focused on the most pressing challenges in various areas such as: policy reforms; development of sustainable infrastructure and agriculture; advancing education; innovation and science; upgrading its health system; or rethinking the future of work as economies globally increasingly go digital and as Serbia positions itself for a recovery from COVID-19 impacts and accelerating growth. Consultations were held with a wide range of stakeholders, including authorities, businesses, civil society and NGO, international development institutions, diplomatic community and academia.
