He calls the US companies to visit Macedonia and to be assured in what is being presented at the business forum.

I would like to invite all who are interested to invest in Europe to visit Macedonia and to discuss with investors that have already invested in Macedonia to analyse and to compare our advantages with other advantages of other European countries. And prior to passing the decision to review all information on Macedonia because we strongly believe that you will see that Macedonia is the real place for your investment, Gruevski said.

We are staring here from Princeton and we will continue in Chicago and Boston to present investment conditions in the Republic of Macedonia, aimed at attract new US companies. The interest is large when it comes to the Republic of Macedonia as a destination with lowest tax in Europe, with favourable business climate for investments and macroeconomically good and stable conditions which created interest to US companies because companies as Johnson Controls, Kemet Electronics are already present in Macedonia.
