"It is important to strengthen
our industrial partnership with the Balkans to bring back to
Western Europe pieces of the supply chain that are fundamental
to our economy, which has unfortunately been delegated to the
Far East in recent decades. The decision-making keys of
production processes cannot be handed over to third countries
with little to do with democracy." That is what the governor of
Friuli Venezia Giulia, Massimiliano Fedriga, said at the
Trans-Adriatic Business Forum "An Italy-Serbia Partnership for
Prosperity in the Balkans" underway in Pordenone.
"That is why the intensification of trade relations with
Serbia is an opportunity not only for FVG and Italy but for the
whole of Europe - he pointed out - here we are talking about a
fundamental part of our future, where the more robust the
network of relations between the countries, the more the
democratic principles and freedom in which we believe will be
safeguarded, both for Western Europe and for the Balkans
themselves."
"The Balkan area - the governor remarked - can be a crucial
platform to bring us closer to that part of components that
cannot be produced in Europe, as it has low added value and is
not economically sustainable, but is an essential cog in
industrial processes.
According to Fedriga, "It is not enough to rely on mutual
opportunities: creating a unified structure that provides
privileged lines of access to each other's markets is necessary.
In this context, FVG is also called upon to build a production
system that looks forward to the coming decades."
