The visit took place within the framework of the presence of the Serbian delegation in Thessaloniki, at the initiative of the Hellenic-Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Tourism, Industry & Professional Affairs of Northern Greece and aimed at strengthening cooperation between Northern Greece and the region of Vojvodina, in the sectors of trade, tourism and economy.

As the most economically developed region of Serbia, with strong agricultural production, industrial activity and a dynamic presence of research centers, Vojvodina has significant development potential. In addition, its geographical location highlights its role as a bridge between the markets of Serbia and Northern Greece, creating favorable ground for the further development of trade, tourism and production synergies.
During the meeting, the delegation had the opportunity to be informed about the implementation of the investment plan of the Thessaloniki Port Authority S.A. and the momentum created by the enhancement of the efficiency and competitiveness of the port of Thessaloniki. A central role in this perspective is played by the expansion of Pier 6, a project of substantial upgrading of the port, which consolidates its leading role as a transit hub for Southeastern Europe.
