In three weeks since the start of the government campaign for attracting foreign investments, "Invest in Macedonia - New Business Heaven in Europe", about 250 companies turned to the Macedonian authorities asking more detailed information about Macedonia's investment opportunities, while 64 million reactions to the campaign have so far been noted.

"The businessmen from Turkey, Germany, Slovenia, Greece and Australia are the most interested," said the Minister without Portfolio responsible for foreign investments, Gligor Tashkovich, addressing the representatives of the companies from the American Chamber of Commerce in Macedonia.

"My vision is to see Macedonia in Europe the way Singapore is now seen. Businessmen know what this means. We aim at great goals and it may take us 30-40 years to attain them all, yet this is our ultimate objective - Greenfield investments. Therefore, over the next five months I will visit 1,500 companies," Minister Tashkovich said.

He informed that by the end of this week he would commence his tour of companies in Italy, Qatar and Dubai. In March he will visit companies in America, Australia and Turkey and in April he will go to Switzerland and Slovenia.
