Belgrade Waterfront, a multi-billion euro project, aims to revolutionize the face of Belgrade, featuring luxurious residential buildings, commercial spaces, entertainment centers, and modern public areas. This ambitious endeavor requires the highest quality construction materials, making AGC, one of the world's largest glass manufacturers, an indispensable partner.
Ramadani, the owner of Gitor Shpk, is said to have leveraged his connections with AGC Glass Europe to secure the glass supply for this monumental project. Known for his strategic moves in the glass industry, Ramadani has previously outmaneuvered competitors in the Balkans, controlling significant portions of the region's glass imports.
The news of this agreement has sparked mixed reactions in Serbia. While some media and analysts express surprise at the influence of a Kosovo Albanian in such a large and symbolic project for Belgrade, the combination of AGC's expertise in glass production and Ramadani's regional influence makes the partnership seem natural.
Belgrade Waterfront represents one of the largest urban development investments in the Balkans. The involvement of AGC, facilitated by Ramadani's strong connections, signifies the growing impact of Albanian businesses beyond Kosovo's borders.
This new collaboration could serve as a model for future developments. It demonstrates the potential for Albanian entrepreneurs to play a more significant role in regional and global markets.
