Expectations and prognosis of the economic situation in the coming year

- Financial crisis is slowly moving to our country as well, but first effects will be seen in the Spring. That's why I expect that most of our activities in the next year would be project planning, besides already started projects of construction. Most important is that in the coming recession we keep good relations with our clients and partners.

We see the crisis only as one more reason to improve our business, requestion our strategy, target markets and areas of activities. Our goal is not to survive, but to become stronger and more dominant at the market, said Mr.Trbovic.
