About Serbia

Serbia is a dynamically developing country in southeastern Europe, in the heart of the Balkan Peninsula. In 2006, after the secession of Montenegro, it became a sovereign state, and in 2012 it received the status of a candidate for membership in the European Union. The capital and largest city of Serbia is Belgrade, and the official language is Serbian.
Although Serbia is landlocked, it offers picturesque mountains, a favorable climate, healing waters and mud, making it one of the popular destinations for health tourism. The country is also famous for its rich history, unique culture and distinctive cuisine, which incorporates elements of both Western and Eastern traditions. The Belgrade Fortress, standing at the confluence of the Danube and the Sava, has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, having survived four great empires: Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian. Another unique natural attraction is the Devil’s Town on Mount Radan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located 27 kilometers from the town of Kuršumlija. And the famous cevapcici – fried sausages made of meat with onions and spices – have long been popular far beyond the country’s borders.
In addition to its cultural and natural riches, Serbia is becoming increasingly attractive to those looking for a comfortable place to live and do business. Serbs are known for their openness and hospitality, they are friendly and welcoming to foreigners. The country offers favorable conditions for foreign investors: it is quite easy to open a bank account here, and company registration takes minimum time and effort. In addition, businessmen and their family members have the opportunity to obtain a residence permit for several years, which makes Serbia especially attractive for those who plan a long-term stay or business development in Europe.
In addition, an important advantage for entrepreneurs is Serbia’s strategic location at the crossroads of trade routes between Europe and Asia. This makes Serbia a convenient transportation hub and a gateway for doing business in the Balkan region and beyond. This position greatly facilitates logistics and opens access to new markets, which makes starting a business in Serbia especially advantageous for those who seek to develop international projects.
