The company has already registered the web domain in Serbia, Ziarul Financiar daily announced quoting Dragoş Pavăl, president, shareholder and co-founder of the company.

"Expanding abroad is one of the main concerns, and the first step in this direction is not far. The company has already registered the web domain in Serbia," he said.
