We are here because Hungary has accumulated capital that is now looking for investment opportunities outside Hungary, Prime Minister Orban said on Friday in Bosnia's Banja Luka, at the opening of a business forum organized by Hungary and the Republika Sprska.

When it comes to economic decisions, Serbia's government will clearly pinpoint the sectors where Hungarians are welcome, and 'we won't target" all the others, where they don't want competition, Mr Orban said. This country belongs to the Serbs," so the Hungarian companies present are working in areas have been designated by the Serbs, he said.

It is important that we should be accepted by locals, and that they feel that we bring them opportunities to areas where there is a need for investment and development.

- Mr Orban stressed.

He encouraged Hungarian companies to set up joint ventures. "This is a two-way street", Mr Orban said, indicating that Hungary was waiting for Serbs "both as employees and as entrepreneurs", because "cooperation does not take away opportunities, it creates them."
