<img alt="ABOUT THE BALKANS" src="http://ast.subscribermail.com/images/40000900/extcontent/pr40000900_52f72e1aa.gif" border="0" hspace="7" vspace="7"><br>
The changes in the Balkans, also known in different country configurations as Southeast Europe, are remarkable. The countries referred include Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Greece, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey. Geographically, they serve as the direct route between Western Europe and Asia...
<br>
<br>The success of these countries in the past years is notable. GDP growth is on the rise with most of the countries reaching or exceeding over 5% in 2006 and it is forecasted that this new levels of success will continue in 2007. Corporate profit tax rates are as low as 10% in some countries and other countries are changing their corporate profit tax to lower levels. Beneficial investment incentives have been introduced in all the countries in order to welcome more foreign investment. Most of these countries are either already in the European Union or heading in that direction
<br>
<br>The Balkan Country marketplace, with its multi-regional personalities and ethnicity, provides companies the opportunities to source and supply their products and services to a diverse yet neighboring population of over 130 million. The free trade agreements, which have been signed by a vast amount of these countries, offer another advantage by providing an outlet to an even larger population. In some counties, the marketplace, with all the free trade agreements in place, exceed 700 million people. For example, Serbia has a free trade agreement with Russia; a marketplace of over 140 million people. F.Y.R.O.M. has a free trade agreement with Ukraine; a marketplace of almost 50 million people.
<br>
<br>Although political situations have risen in some of these countries, business investments, mergers, acquisitions and development is continuing at a rapid pace. Almost 20 billion euros of Foreign Direct Investment was realized in 2005 within the SEE countries and 2006 projections are projected to be even more promising.
<br>
<br>
<br>The advantages of the Balkans:
<br>
<br>
<br>It is a new frontier to discover and explore with over a 130 million population in a relatively consolidated area;
<br>
<br>
<br>Business cooperation and foreign investment is of intense interest in the Balkans;
<br>
<br>
<br>Free trade agreements, incentives and free zones are beneficial and already implemented;
<br>
<br>
<br>The Resourceful, skilled and inexpensive labor are available with a relatively large population of youth;
<br>
<br>
<br>Tourism is significantly higher in some countries and a few have even received a projection of being the top ten tourist destination;
<br>
<br>
<br>Personnel are well trained in their field of expertise possessing strong mathematical and IT skills;
<br>
<br>
<br>New products, services and methods are continuously welcomed and sought-after;
<br>
<br>
<br>Lack of competition exists in certain industries;
<br>
<br>
<br>More than half of the countries are in the European Union or candidates for the European Union;
<br>
<br>
<br>Privatization programs and tenders are attractive investment opportunities;
<br>
<br>
<br>The needs of replacement goods and services are sizeable in these regions, such as, medical equipment and construction materials;
<br>
<br>
<br>The purchasing power of the population is increasing and the regions are producing more and more millionaires.
