Businessman Miroslav Mišković, owner of the company “Delta Holding”, spoke on the first day of this year’s Kopaonik Business Forum. Mišković said that the state must invest in the education of citizens – “from peasants to professors”.
After briefly explaining the financial results of “Delta”, Miškovic spoke about the Sava Center, which he owns.
“The Sava Center has become a Chinese shopping mall, so that the Chinese don’t get angry.” I hope they are not here,” Miškovic began about this symbol of Belgrade, which was reconstructed at the end of last year, reports Nova.rs.
“Artificial intelligence should be accepted as soon as possible”
“Everything that is new is not easily accepted. I don’t know when the first train went from Belgrade to Niš, I guess in ’81. At that time, it was like, ‘what a train through Serbia, it will kill our sheep,'” Mišković said.
According to him, artificial intelligence should be accepted as soon as possible, although new things are generally difficult to accept. He added that whoever does not accept the new technology will quickly “fail” as a businessman.
“No dollar, no euro, and no real estate”
Asked if he would “play” on the dollar in the future, Miskovic says that he wouldn’t, but he wouldn’t play on the euro either.
“A lot of people who have money are buying real estate and they’ve played the best they can over the last 20, 30 years and protected the value of the money.” Now the former Yugoslavia must invest in the stock market, because with good propaganda and marketing, they could trade shares, let’s not forget apartments,” said Mišković.
“The problem is not to build a factory, but who will run it”
During the interview, Mišković said that the state must invest in the education of citizens – “from peasants to professors”.
He added that Serbia lacks many professional managers. He gave the example of hospitals in Serbia, which are run by doctors, not managers.
“The problem is not to build a factory, but who will run it.” We lack good managers,” he added.
Mišković commented on the PISA test results, which in Serbia are the worst in the region, and are getting worse every year.
“Our children are taught by teachers with a salary of 65,000 dinars. I’m sorry to say so, but it is true. In my day, teachers wore ties. I’m not sure that any teacher wears a tie now,” said Mišković, commenting on the fact that the salaries of workers who educate children are too low, and their responsibility is great.
Commenting on Croatian businessman Ivica Todorić’s entry into politics, i.e. founding a party, Mišković said that he believes that businessmen should not engage in politics.
“I don’t like politics, write that down,” Miskovic told the audience.
