Send us a briefMarket access — to and from Serbia
We help global companies navigate every layer of market access — from entry and regulation to partnerships and exports — so your operations work both inside and beyond Serbia. For foreign firms, that means a fast, compliant entry into the Serbian economy. For Serbia-based firms, it means using Serbia's trade network as a launchpad to international markets.
Market entry — every layer of market access
Six interlocking capabilities, delivered as one coordinated engagement.

A trade hub with reach few European bases can match
Serbia's network of free trade agreements gives companies based here duty-free or preferential access to a remarkable span of markets — including one almost no other European country offers.
EU — via the SAA
Preferential, largely duty-free access to the EU single market as an accession candidate aligned with EU rules.
China FTA
Signed 2023 and now in force — Serbia is one of very few European countries with a free trade agreement granting preferential access to China.
EAEU
Free trade with Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia under the 2019 agreement.
Turkey FTA
Duty-free industrial trade since 2015, expanded in 2018 to include services — a bridge to a market of ~85 million.
CEFTA
Duty-free trade and origin accumulation across the Western Balkans regional market.
EFTA
Preferential access to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein.
Together, these agreements give a Serbia-based operation duty-free or preferential access to markets totalling more than 2 billion consumers — combining the EU, China, the EAEU, Turkey, and the regional Balkan and EFTA markets in a single location. We help you structure your operation to actually use that access.
