06/07/2012 (B92) - The Indonesian government reached a decision on Thursday by which Serbia will become distribution center for Indonesian strategic raw materials.

The decision applies to goods the country exports to southeast and central Europe.

This was announced by Indonesian Ambassador to Serbia Samuel Samson.

Cocoa, palm oil, tea, natural rubber, coffee, spices and other strategic raw materials from the equatorial area would arrive directly in Serbia via water transport at very reasonable prices only slightly higher than in Jakarta, Samson said.

The ambassador told TV Vojvodina that, apart from distribution, Serbia would also be engaged in finalization of products, "which would bring good profit to both countries".
