Blockchain Advisory (BCA) is proud to announce that, thanks to the partnership with USAID Serbia Cooperation for Growth Project, it is now formally advising the Government of Serbia to implement various initiatives in relation to distributed ledger technology and crypto-assets.

In the past few days, BCA engaged in meetings with various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Finance, Office of the Prime Minister, Securities Commission, and the Serbian Blockchain Initiative. The outcome of such meetings was a positive one, and BCA will be working on several verticals in relation to the preparation of a holistic strategy for the implementation of distributed ledger technology.

I also had the honour of participating on the Blockchain panel at the Western Balkans Digital Summit, where I shared the stage with Ivan Blelajac from the Serbian Blockchain Initiative and the MVP Workshop, Bojana Tomic-Brkusanin from the Serbian Securities Commission, Greg Medcraft from the OECD, Loretta Joseph, Tadej Slapnik from Tolar HashNET Slovenia, and Vladimir Trajkovik.
