Impacts of the Brexit upon the Serbian Economy Depend on the EU's Response

It is difficult to predict what impacts the Brexit will have upon the Serbian economy at this moment. Taking in consideration close economic ties between Serbia and the EU, negative impacts are likely to occur if the EU enters the recession after the Brexit vote, said Tanja Jakobi, CENTRE's member in the news for the Serbian broadcasting coorporation RTS. As a consequence, it may slowdown the Serbian exports. 

Jakobi pointed out that financial turmoil induced by the Brexit may make investors vigilant, therefore the FDI levels in 2016 would not reach predicted levels. She was among experts who took a part in the special RTS coverage on the economic impacts of the Brexit in case of Serbia.
