January 8 (SeeNews) - Serbian prime minister Aleksandar Vucic said that a total of 45 million euro ($48.9 million) will be invested this year in an ammunition plant near the western town of Pozega.
Vucic said in a government statement on Thursday that he expects the works on the plant to wrap up by May 1.
