Slovenia and Serbia Forge Alliance for Global Market Expansion

Balkan neighbours team up for a bold leap into Africa, Asia, and Latin America

In a significant move to deepen economic ties and boost their global footprint, Slovenia and Serbia are joining forces to support their businesses in accessing international markets.

At today’s Slovenian-Serbian Business Forum in Ljubljana, more than 100 representatives from companies, institutions, and support organisations came together to explore joint strategies for entering third markets.

The event, hosted by SPIRIT Slovenia and the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, featured in-depth discussions on practical support mechanisms for enterprises and the shared hurdles they face abroad.

Key focus regions included Africa, Asia, and Latin America—emerging markets where combined efforts could yield stronger results.

A highlight of the forum was the signing of a cooperation memorandum between SPIRIT Slovenia and the Serbian Chamber—laying the groundwork for long-term collaboration and a more structured, institutional approach to internationalisation.

For two nations navigating similar economic paths, this partnership signals a pragmatic and promising shift: pooling resources to compete—and win—on the world stage.
