Belgrade, Serbia | June 2026 : Norway and Serbia are building the foundations of a significant bilateral business relationship. The Stavanger Business Region Delegation Week in Belgrade brought that process into clear view, uniting Norwegian, Serbian and Balkan business communities around a single purpose: converting strategic interest into structured, tangible collaboration.
The high-calibre delegation programme covered market-entry strategy, investment dialogue, the growing eMobility sector and an exclusive preview of World Expo 2027, signalling that Belgrade is positioning itself as a genuine global focal point for the years ahead.
Delegation Opens With Focused Market-Entry Discussions
The programme opened with a delegation dinner that set the tone immediately. Discussions moved straight into market realities, cultural dynamics and practical frameworks for entering the Norwegian and Serbian markets.
Ivan Pljevaljcic and Milos Grče of the Norway-Serbia Bridge Alliance (NSB Alliance) facilitated the session. They worked in close collaboration with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Belgrade to frame the discussions with both diplomatic and commercial depth.
For businesses exploring cross-border digital growth, events like this one signal where the next wave of bilateral opportunity is taking shape.
Business Forum Spotlights eMobility and the Case for Norway
A structured Business Forum followed, hosted in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia. The forum facilitated direct engagement with industry clusters, public institutions and key sector stakeholders.
The growing eMobility agenda featured prominently throughout. One question anchored every conversation: Why Norway, Why Now?
The answer came into focus across the sessions. Norway brings green expertise, proven sustainable innovation and access to capital. Serbia offers engineering talent, growing infrastructure and a strategic gateway into the broader Balkan region. Together, the two markets present a compelling case for structured cross-border partnership.

H.E. Ambassador Kristin Melsom hosted a gathering at the Norwegian Ambassador’s residence in Belgrade. It drew businesses, institutions and industry leaders committed to accelerating real collaboration between Norway and Serbia.
