According to FCA Serbia, the appointment reflects the company’s continued focus on performance, operational excellence and effective corporate governance.
The move comes at a significant moment for FCA Serbia, which remains one of the country’s most important industrial exporters and a key part of Stellantis’ European manufacturing network.
