As part of regular internal procedures, there was election for the new President of BusinessEurope and Fredrik Persson became the head of this organization. On this occasion, BusinessEurope organized a formal reception in Brussels, which was attended by Mr. Miloš Nenezic, General Manager of Trayal Corporation and President of the Serbian Association of Employers (SAE).
Mr. Persson is the President of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprises and a member of the Council of Presidents of BusinessEurope, and he has been vice president of this organization since 2020. He will be performing this important function for the next two years and on that occasion, he stated that he was looking forward to the opportunity to continue the great work of his predecessor, Mr. Pierre Gattaz and his contribution to strengthening the voice of millions of small, medium and large enterprises in Europe.
The reception was attended by a large number of important dignitaries, and the keynote speaker was Mr. Johannes Hahn, Commissioner of Finance and Administration.
Mr. Nenezić congratulated Mr. Persson on his election for this important role and underlined the
commitment of Serbian Association of Employers to the European Employer Registry. On the other
hand, it is equally important that, as an active member of BusinessEurope, SAE has the opportunity
to ensure that the economic reality of countries that are in the process of joining the European
Union, such as Serbia, is consistently reflected and integrated into the positions of BusinessEurope.
During the term of office of the previous President of BusinessEurope, SAE strengthened its
position even more in the European family of employers and came just one step away from full
membership. The new President of BusinessEurope underlined that, although Serbia is not a
member country of the EU, it has the right to fully participate, because it is located in Europe. In the
same way, Director Markus Beyrer made a special mention of cooperation with SAE, thus
confirming the mutual respect and appreciation of our organizations.
