The plant site is in Odzaci, 140km (90 miles) northwest of Belgrade, where local authorities will provide a 2.68 hectare (6.6 acre) plot as part of efforts to attract foreign direct investments, Miloradovic said.
The investor may also receive government incentives that range from EUR4,000 to EUR10,000 per job created, he said.
