The guests received the information positively, however, Estonian companies tend to choose other cities for establishment.
Estonian Ambassador Toomas Kukk and the delegation of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania met with Siauliai Mayor Arturas Visockas, deputy mayors, administration director and his deputies.
According to Robertas Juodka, chairman of the Board of the Estonian Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania, Estonia is interested in the Siauliai Free Economic Zone (FEZ) and the airport. These are the main investment attractions.
However, Juodka notes that the Siauliai FEZ is no different from those in other cities, except for the airport which is slowing dying in agony. Its underdevelopment is one of the reasons, which limits the intentions of businesses.
