By visiting Bijeljina, Republic of Srpska and B&H, we write history,  this cooperation is of great importance because it creates new working places.

Head of the Office of the Mayor of Bijeljina Mile Pejčić pointed out that the start of the production in the "Elvako" is of great importance to our City.
TRB besides  military industry, now also develops a civilian program- including production of electrodes and containers, which means more work places, and every newly created work place is precious for us- said Pejcic, adding that they discussed about the possibilities of further cooperation.

-The military industry was the economic engine of development of former Yugoslavia. In the past five years we have succeeded in entering, through the military industry, into other segments of the industry. Cooperation with Namibia will not end only in the field of military industry -  said Ristić, reminding that TRB started production in "Elvako" two months ago.
