SERBIA
Despite its modest size and a population of just 7 million, and the serious upheavals suffered by the country in the early 21st century, Serbia is now a fairly promising area of South-Eastern Europe. Serbia boasts a dynamic economy and a stable and universal banking system, which is very popular with the citizens of the CIS countries, along with the jurisdictions in countries such as the Czech Republic, Latvia or Estonia. All the latest banking regulations in the country are aimed at meeting European requirements, as Serbia is on the verge of joining the EU. However, the strict European rules do not apply to Serbian banks yet.
At present 27 banks are operating in Serbia. Among them there are state and private banks as well as banking institutions with foreign ownership. All Serbian banks are well capitalized and offer a full range of modern banking services. The best banks according to experts are Banca Intesa, Komercijalna Banka, UniCredit, Societe Generale, Raiffeisen, AIK and Eurobank.
