The Complexities of Importing into Serbia
Serbia has a rich history of famous scientists and inventors. However, the communist revolution brought a crackdown on free thought, and in turn, Serbian innovation suffered. Yet while free thought was restricted, the communist-era government invested heavily in developing Technology, pushing Technological development for the purpose of national security. This attracted the best and brightest of the region, unintentionally giving the country a leg-up for the Technological revolution to come. The nation has maintained this standing as a Tech hot spot showing steady growth. Though it may not be able to keep up with world powers like the USA or UK, the Tech sector is the most significant contributor to the Serbian economy, making it stand out among its neighbors. Despite the importance of substantial international investment, there are several hurdles prospective importers need to overcome. For example, wireless goods are restricted and require additional permits. This is not an uncommon restriction in the region; however, Serbian customs has struggled to keep up with the volume of permit requests, and acquiring the necessary documentation can take upwards of four weeks.
