Who would have thought Serbia could pull off a trade surplus with Germany?! After 20 years, finally a plus in trade with Europe’s biggest giant – bilateral trade hitting €9.37 billion with an 11.1% growth! German companies in Serbia pay wages up to 60% above average, and 88% still see Serbia as a dream investment spot. But of course, it’s not all sunshine – corruption, legal uncertainty, and slow EU accession still spoil the party. While Serbia wrestles with bureaucracy, German investors enjoy dual education and digitalization. Is this the start of a new economic fairy tale or just a lucky flash? Jump into the debate and tell us – can Serbia finally compete with Germany or is this just a fortunate coincidence?
