Vucic stressed the importance that cooperation with the World Economic Forum has for Serbia, given the contacts made with many figures who are influential in the global political and business scene during the annual meetings in Davos, as well as the invaluable knowledge and experience transferred by participants from different parts of the world, which has brought many benefits to our country, especially in the field of economy.

WEF regional director Dusek congratulated Serbia on its economic results, making positive assessments of our country's activities in the field of digitization. He said he expects that the circumstances will allow the annual session in Davos to be held according to plan next January, and that President Vucic will participate, as in previous years, particularly in the panel dedicated to the Western Balkans. On that occasion, the two interlocutors discussed the current situation in the region.

President Vucic expressed his gratitude to the representatives of the World Economic Forum for their help in establishing the National Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as part of a global network of those centers, which was created to ensure cooperation between countries and companies in developing and applying technology that is in the public interest.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is scheduled to take place at Switzerland's Davos mountain resort January 17-21, when world and business leaders will meet face to face again, organizers said.

As announced, the gathering will be focused on accelerating shareholder capitalism, using the technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and ensuring greater inclusiveness of work in the future, Reuters reported.

The Covid pandemic forced organizers to move the annual WEF meeting to Singapore last year, and then cancel it altogether, after which there was a question mark over whether this prestigious event would return to Switzerland at all.
