(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, APRIL 27 - Over the next few days Luciano Benetton will be in Serbia to come to an agreement on the details of his group's expansion activities in the Balkan country, announced Serbian president Boris Tadic. ''I have spoken to Luciano Benetton, and I am expect to see him soon in Serbia with the aim of expanding his group's activities and building new plant facilities,'' Tanjug quoted Tadic as saying. New investment and the building of facilities, he added, are necessary for Serbia since this leads to job creation. Over the past few months an agreement was drawn up for the building of new Benetton group production facilities in the southern Serbian city of Nis which will employ 2,700 workers.

Investment is expected to total around 43 million euros. Boris Tadic, who resigned from his role as president before his term in office was to end (February 2013) in order to hold presidential elections at the same time as the legislative and local ones on May 6, had immediately announced afterwards that he would be running for a second term.(ANSAmed).
