The statement claims that the availability of essential information about each company, such as export destinations, applicable quality standards, certifications held, as well as logistics and production capacities, is a key advantage of the Digital Export Catalogue.
All these details significantly and effectively support potential partners by helping them make business decisions and establish cooperation.
Owners of domestic companies highlight that participation in the Digital Exporters Catalogue as a unique opportunity to strengthen their position in the global market, increase visibility, and establish new business contacts worldwide.
They say that PKS will further support the internationalisation of business and the promotion of the Serbian economy at international trade fairs, business forums, and through its network of economic representative offices in Shanghai, Dubai, Jerusalem, Moscow, Brussels, Frankfurt, and Ljubljana through this platform. The statement reports that Serbia’s diplomatic and consular network, as well as international events both home and abroad, will help promote the Digital Exporters Catalogue around the world.
According to the explanations, the Digital Exporters Catalogue is not just a database, but a strategic tool designed to enhance Serbia’s export activities and international economic cooperation. Furthermore, this new digital tool enters in a broader strategy to strengthen the domestic economy’s capacities, support exports, and intensify international economic collaboration across all continents.

Economic and trade cooperation is in focus of Egypt-Serbia talks

A meeting between Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and his Serbian counterpart Djuro Macut during a joint press conference on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at the government premises in the New Administrative Capital.
According to Madbouly, they have convened a constructive bilateral session in a spirit of mutual understanding and openness and discussed an array of high-priority matters pertaining to bilateral cooperation, as well as prevailing regional challenges.
As he noted, enhancing economic and trade relations, particularly in light of the Free Trade Agreement signed during the Serbian president’s visit to Cairo in July 2024 and subsequently ratified by the parliaments of the two countries, was in the center of the discussions.
The Minister also described the Egyptian-Serbian Business Forum as a valuable platform to encourage both countries’ business communities to expand collaboration across diverse sectors, such as agriculture and food security.
The Minister also highlighted Serbia’s considerable potential in agricultural production and agro-industrial processing and the importance of enhancing bilateral exports in this vital domain.
Then, Madbouly noted a wide range of investment opportunities that Egypt offers, particularly within the Suez Canal Economic Zone, trying to attract Serbian companies to invest in the country.
Another step to boost tourism and cultural cooperation between Egypt and Serbia will be expanding flights via Air Serbia, EgyptAir, and Air Cairo, following a recent visit by Egypt’s tourism minister to Belgrade.
Also, Madbouly reiterated both countries’ support for peaceful solutions in the Middle East, respect for sovereignty, and an immediate ceasefire in ongoing regional conflicts after extended talks with his Serbian counterpart. He also warned the international society against further escalation risks broader violence and regional collapse.
The Minister also called for a two-state solution based on the establishment of a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital, reaffirming Egypt’s position on the Palestinian issue. Notably, Madbouly appreciated Serbia’s recent UN vote supporting full Palestinian membership.
When talking about developments in the Western Balkans, Egypt expressed full support for Serbia’s territorial integrity and its participation in the Open Balkan initiative. As further coordination in international forums was accepted by both sides, Madbouly thanked Serbia for backing Egypt’s candidate for the post of UNESCO director-general.

First phase of Tbilisi Intermodal hub opens in Georgia

As AD Ports Group, an enabler of integrated trade, transport and logistics solutions, announced on Tuesday, the first phase of Tbilisi Intermodal Hub, Georgia’s first modern, bonded container and intermodal terminal, and a key logistics link in the Group’s emerging Central Asian transport strategy was inaugurated.
Irakli Kobakhidze, Prime Minister of Georgia, Levan Davitashvili, First Vice Prime Minister of Georgia, Ahmed bin Ali Al Sayegh, Minister of State in the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Ebrahim AlNuaimi, UAE Ambassador to Georgia, Giorgi Janjgava, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, the Georgian Ambassador to UAE, as well as Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO of AD Ports Group, Jemal Inaishvili, Founder of Inveco LLC, and Abdulaziz Zayed Al Shamsi, Regional CEO – AD Ports Group attended the inauguration.
In the first phase of Tbilisi Intermodal Hub is Tbilisi Dry Port, an Inland Container Depot (ICD) that will handle container cargo arriving by rail and truck. There are plans to build additional container yards and truck parking, and a fourth railway spur, to transform it into a full-service import-and-export logistics hub for all of Central Asia, a fast-growing region that AD Ports Group is targeting as a strategic growth corridor by early 2026.
Then, Tbilisi Intermodal Hub will process many types of cargo (containerized vehicles, and forms of containerized bulk and break-bulk commodities such as minerals, ores, and fertilizers) in its second and third phases. This will make it an important supply chain of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, as well as an East-West crossroads for goods between China and Europe.
The first shipment of 30 containers, each carrying over 26 tonnes of cargo, via rail link from an MSC ship docked at Georgia’s Black Sea Port of Batumi, signified Tbilisi Intermodal Hub’s soft launch on 3rd May.
An inland extension of Batumi and the Port of Poti, Georgia’s key seaports, will make Tbilisi Intermodal Hub a vital logistics staging hub accelerating trade flows across the Caucasus region and Central Asia.
The Middle Corridor will become a viable, modern high-volume trade corridor linking China and Europe by overland route through Central Asia with the Group’s ports and maritime assets in Türkiye and Pakistan due to the Georgian intermodal logistics hub. They expect it to handle up to 1.9 million Twenty Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) of container cargo annually by 2040, as manufacturers seek to avoid longer seaborne routes.
