BELGRADE, MAY 14 /SRNA/ – In a time of global uncertainty and growing demand for stable markets that are friendly to investors, Republika Srpska is positioning itself as one of the most promising yet least discovered investment destinations in Southeast Europe, the Austrian-Serbian Economic Forum announced today.
The Forum highlighted that a group of 15 of the most successful Austrian entrepreneurs of Serbian origin recently visited Banja Luka as part of a high-level delegation organized by the Austrian-Serbian Economic Forum.
The host of the meeting was the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, who organized a presentation of the region’s economic potential.
The discussions focused on exceptionally favorable investment conditions: a corporate tax rate of only 10%, stable business environment, the lowest electricity prices in the region, and a comprehensive system of subsidies and incentives for investors from BiH, Serbia, and abroad.
Mladen Filipović, a representative of the Union of Serbs in Austria and head of the Republika Srpska’s Representative Office in Vienna, emphasized the strategic importance of economic cooperation with the diaspora and noted that many international companies are already successfully operating in Republika Srpska.
Serbia’s ambassador to Austria, Marko Blagojević, who also participated in the meeting, underscored Serbia’s role in encouraging economic ties with Republika Srpska and praised the importance of the Serbian diaspora in building bridges between markets and cultures.
“Republika Srpska is proving to be a market with untapped potential, attractive business conditions, and a clear political willingness to cooperate with international partners.
For investors seeking new, dynamic, and sustainable opportunities, Republika Srpska is without doubt a gem—ready to be discovered,” the Austrian-Serbian Economic Forum stated.
