In other countries we cooperate with dealers that deliver our top products to their customers. We are more ambitious than ever and believe we can conquer the world with our vision and products. Therefore we have defined several focus areas where we want to expand our network of dealers and intensify our cooperation with existing dealers. One of our focus areas is Southeast Europe.
