Unboring Economy: What Drives Serbia?

Do you really know what drives the country you live in?

How does Serbian business work? Why are there no marketplaces here? And what makes Serbia such an investment magnet?

Economics is not boring, especially when it's told vividly and engagingly. Our cult lecture, which has already gathered more than 500 listeners, is back!

On May 23 we, together with Mikhail Lobanov, Deputy Director of the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will examine the most unexpected and exciting aspects of the Serbian economy:

• E‑commerce the Serbian way: “where is my parcel” or why there are no marketplaces in Serbia?
• "From Fiat to distillate": what is produced here and successfully sold abroad?
• Choose me: which factors drive the surge of investment into the country?
• Coffee break or work break?
• Main differences between Serbian and Russian business cultures.
• In the grip of illusions: the story of the battle of Serbian apples for shelves in Russian supermarkets.
• Xi's "soft power": which attractive assets have the Chinese not reached yet?
• Where our homeland didn’t get lost: how longing for pelmeni and art events led Russians to create a “parallel” economy in Serbia?
