Employment, relocation & FDI

Hiring, relocating specialists, and establishing a foreign-owned operation in Serbia each have their own sequence of documents. I help companies and individuals plan those steps in the right order under Serbian law.

Employment contracts, workplace policies, and termination matters need to track Serbian labour rules. For cross-border hires, work and residence permits often run in parallel with the employment paper — timing mistakes create avoidable delays.

On foreign direct investment I assist with company setup, governance basics, and the practical steps needed to staff and run an operation in Serbia. Foreign managers get explanations in English where that helps decision-making.

The engagement is planned around your hiring or investment calendar: which filings come first, what the employment package must contain, and where immigration and corporate work intersect.

Who this is for

Employers hiring in Serbia, executives and specialists relocating here, and foreign investors opening or expanding a Serbian company.

How the work usually starts

Describe the hire or investment, the nationalities involved, and any hard start date. I map the legal path, the documents required, and a fee proposal before work starts.
