We are very pleased that the production would continue, that a lot of workers will continue working and that the purchase of milk will be secured, Vučković said after a meeting with Fortenova Group Chief Executive Officer Fabris Peruško.
That is, Vučković said, an autonomous decision and the result of business negotiations of two business subjects, and the government will continue working on providing business conditions and reducing administrative barriers, which will allow investors to stay and the processing industry to develop as much as possible.
