"The opening of this office has significance in two respects today: to increase EIB activity in the region; [and] to stress the commitment by European institutions to support your countries in joining the EU," EIB President Philippe Maystadt said during a ceremony at Belgrade City Hall.
„Otvaranje ove kancelarije ima značaj na dva načina danas: da se poveća aktivnost EIB u regionu; [i] naglasi posvećenost evropskih institucija pružanju podrške vašim zemljama u pridruživanju EU“, rekao je predsednik EIB Filip Mejštat tokom svečanosti u Skupštini Beograda.
