Turkish lender Halkbank has become the commercial bridge between Turkey and Serbia since May 2015, the bank's general director for Serbia, Kenan Bozkurt, told Anadolu Agency in an interview.
Halkbank is a state-run lender and one of Turkey's biggest banks. It bought a 76.76 percent stake in Serbia's local lender, Cacanska Banka, on May 20, 2015.
Bozkurt said Halkbank aims to improve the trade volume between Turkey and Serbia.
"Our mission is to be a bridge between Turkish companies in Serbia and Serbian companies that want to do business in Turkey or with Turkish companies," he said.
