My client UNIQA insurance Serbia, presented their business results to Belgrade media in Hyatt Hotel. UNIQA announced that total premium for 2009 was 2.9 billion dinars, 16% more than in 2008. UNIQA Serbia CEO Zoran Visnjic said he is satisfied with these results, since average premiums in the industry dropped 3-4%. For me this event was important because there was more than 20 journalists. UNIQA insurance has long tradition of maintaining close relationships with journalists.
