The CEO of Swedmilk Macedonia, a Swedish dairy plant due to start operations near Skopje this month, recommended investing in Macedonia to Swedish investors after the business conference “Initiatives for Economic Cooperation between Macedonia and Sweden” held in Skopje on 6 November 2007.

“Those who want to experience what was happening in the Baltic countries about 15 years ago should invest in Macedonia because it’s good here,” said Mr. Roger Oscarson.

Mr. Oscarson is pleased with the investment so far and stresses the importance of the supportive authorities.

“It is a very complex investment, but the central and the local governments have supported and helped us since the beginning.”

Swedmilk Macedonia is just finalizing its investment and has already started to buy out milk. It is cooperating with over 5000 milk producers throughout Macedonia and will be present on the market with the slogan “From the best Macedonian milk” as early as the end of the month.
