Representatives from
the companies Makstil A.D. Skopje; AD MIN Holding Co. Nis and
Makmetal, Sofia met in order to discuss chances and challenges for
closer co-operation in the field of steel and metallurgical
industry within the common cross-border region.
The above mentioned parties agreed on
the need for a Regional Strategy for Development of Steel
and Metallurgical Industry in the neighboring border regions
of Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia.
the need of an immediate restructuring of the existing
facilities and capacities of the steel industry and the
metallurgical complex, in order to enable them to operate in
market oriented conditions and a wider European and global
market.
the need for a joint consultative organizational form
through which a joint presentation of products on wider
regional and world markets will be provided.
Building upon such needs the present companies, Makstil A.D.
Skopje, MIN Holding Co. Nis, Makmetal Sofija and Kremikovci Corp.
Sofija, suggest the formation of a Steel Committee for the future
Euroregion between the above mentioned border regions. Such Steel
Committee should work under the umbrella of the Working Commission
on Economical Development in this sense act as a subgroup to it.
Such a Committee would be fully devoted to the strengthening of
the market economy in the cross-border region, at the same time
contributing to the creation of a better environment for
entrepreneurship, employment, social welfare and in general
improved life conditions.
In this sense the signing parties are expressing their
readiness to actively participate in this process initiating the
