In addressing the participants, the organizers Srđan Matejević and Vladimir Nikolić emphasized the importance of networking between the homeland and the diaspora, not only in terms of culture and identity, but also in the field of economy, which was the reason for their involvement in holding the forum in Munich and providing the diaspora with valid first-hand information.

The forum discussed key topics for the Serbian diaspora, including investment opportunities in Serbia, improving business cooperation, and specific institutional support mechanisms for entrepreneurs in the diaspora. The Together for the Diaspora campaign is aimed at strengthening economic ties and creating a stable and reliable investment framework, with a special focus on small and medium-sized enterprises, export potential and the IT sector.
