Why Serbia Is Better Positioned Than Many Western Countries

Yes. Serbia today is far more stable than many assume. While Western countries face increasing civil unrest, digital surveillance, and economic instability, Serbia offers a slower-paced lifestyle, fewer restrictions, and a surprising amount of personal freedom.

Most people who research Serbia stumble upon outdated media from the 1990s. They associate the country with war and political chaos. Meanwhile, they overlook protests, high taxes, and collapsing public systems in places like France, California, Canada, or Australia—because they’ve been conditioned to believe that Western problems are normal and Eastern Europe is dangerous.

Serbia remained one of the freest countries in Europe during the pandemic.

• No digital IDs or vaccine passports

• No harsh lockdowns like Australia or Canada

• Small businesses kept operating
  
  Many chose to stay in Serbia instead of complying with strict EU entry rules. Even today, Serbia has no sweeping surveillance systems or laws that punish citizens for what they post online.

Absolutely. You can buy a centrally located apartment in Belgrade or Novi Sad for as low as €100,000—a price that won’t get you a parking space in London, Paris, or Toronto.

You also benefit from:

• Low property taxes

• Minimal utility costs

• Affordable phone/internet (as low as $17/month for unlimited plans)

Yes. Many expats are setting up:

• IT startups

• Restaurants

• Freelance or remote businesses

You can register as an entrepreneur or open an LLC with a flat tax model. There’s no punishment for growth—just consistent, low taxation.

“It’s easier to run a business here than it was in Canada,” says one of our clients who previously faced 40%+ corporate tax.

Serbia is significantly more affordable:

• Rent and real estate prices are 2–3x lower

• Groceries and utilities are modest

• Healthcare is accessible, with high-quality private options
  
  

While Western economies buckle under inflation and debt, Serbia offers a buffer against global economic uncertainty.

Yes—but not for long.

Prices have risen with the influx of Russians, Ukrainians, and digital nomads, but Serbia remains one of Europe’s most affordable countries—especially outside of major cities.

If you’re into homesteading or sustainable living, rural properties offer unmatched value.

A simple metric: children.

In Serbia, you’ll see kids playing outdoors, strollers in parks, and families walking the streets. That says a lot about day-to-day safety and quality of life. Serbia offers a slower, more connected lifestyle ideal for raising a family.

Many of our clients are:

• Former Serbians regaining citizenship

• Second-generation expats seeking citizenship by descent

• Foreigners drawn by freedom, affordability, and stability
  
  

As Western countries decline in quality of life, Serbia is on an upward trend.

Take the Warren Buffett approach:

"Invest in a country the same way you invest in a stock. Where will it be in 10, 20, or 30 years?"

Serbia is trending up—economically, socially, and politically. Don’t wait until prices rise or freedoms disappear in your home country. Visit Serbia now, see it with your own eyes, and experience life here firsthand.

Serbia is:

• Stable – despite the media bias, it’s peaceful and organized.

• Free – no digital IDs, no thought-policing, no government overreach.

• Affordable – real estate, food, and services are accessible.

• Opportunity-rich – especially for entrepreneurs and digital nomads.

• Family-friendly – safe streets, traditional values, and a welcoming society.

If you’ve been on the fence, now is the time. Don’t wait until your freedoms vanish or your cost of living becomes unbearable.
