General information on Serbian Business Legislation for Representation and/or Branch
PRESENCE – If your intention is only the presence on the Serbian business market in interest of making contacts, the Representation is sufficient. Note: according to Serbian legislation, the representative office can not issue invoices, it can not receive money from domestic companies. The only way for financing it is to get money for the expenses from the company’s representative office. The representative office can pay advertising, order advertising material and spend money on the advertisement of the foreign company that represents it.
BUSINESS – If you would like to start a business in Serbia, we recommend that you open a LLC or Branch(LLC may own a property in Serbia). If your company’s plan is to sell/buy, issue invoices, hire local labor, it is necessary to be registered as LLC or foreign Branch. We manage similar projects for several foreign clients, which means far more then enabling the address, so, according to your needs and our participation, we can make you an appropriate offer.
Registration of LLC company in the Republic of Serbia, the real owner: foreign legal or physical entity
Documents issued by the official competent authorities responsible for verification in a foreign country, shall be treated as foreign documents. If the documents are issued by a public institution of a country which is a signatory to the Hague Convention on the Treatment of public foreign documents or a State which haves a signed international Bilateral agreement with the Republic of Serbia related to the mutual recognition of public documents, only the Apostille is required on the document
On the other hand, if a document is issued by a public institution of the country, which is not one of the signatories of the above mentioned Convention, or doesn’t have signed International Treaty with the Republic of Serbia, the so-called legalization and verification of documents is required.
