Belgrade, the capital of the Republic of Serbia, occupies the
central position in Southeastern Europe. Located at the
confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, Belgrade is often
called, “the gate of the East, the door to the West“, due to its
unique position.
Belgrade is an ancient city with rich,
7000-year long history.
Singidunum, the name of the fortified
settlement, was first mentioned in 279
B.C. Throughout centuries, Belgrade was
exposed to numerous attacks and
devastations, due to its attractive
geographic position. It was finally
liberated on April 18, 1867 and Prince
Mihailo Obrenović moved the capital from
Kragujevac to Belgrade.
The territory of Belgrade covers the area of 322,268 ha (3.7% territory of
Serbia). It is administratively divided into 17 municipalities.
Belgrade is surrounded by two different natural unities: the Pannonian Basin
(Panonska nizija) on the north, and Šumadija on the South. The average
height above see-level is 117 m, and there are two mountains near
Belgrade: Kosmaj (628 m) and Avala (511 m). The length of river banks in
Belgrade is 200 km and there are 16 river islets (Ada Ciganlija and Veliko
ratno ostrvo are the biggest).
Today, Belgrade is a modern
city. Due to the macroeconomic
stability, market size, human
resources, information
technology, telecommunication
and, especially, its geographic
position and well-developed
investment infrastructure,
Belgrade became one of the
most attractive locations for
doing business in the region. In
the competition for the
European cities and regions of
the future organized by the
“Financial Times”, in March
2006 Belgrade was awarded the
title.
On February 28, 1857
Prince Aleksandar
Karađorđević signed

Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and center of the Southeastern Europe, has
significant potential in all segments attributed to a modern city, making it an
attractive place for living and working. With around 1.8 million inhabitants (21 % of
country’s population) and over 600,000 workers, Belgrade represents not only the
center of government administration, but also the center of tourism, trade, industry,
transportation, finance, culture, science, and education.
The territory of Belgrade is administratively divided in 17 municipalities: 10
central(Čukarica, Voždovac, Vračar, Novi Beograd, Palilula, Rakovica, Savski
venac, Stari grad, Zemun, Zvezdara) and 7 suburban (Barajevo, Grocka,
Lazarevac, Obrenovac, Mladenovac, Sopot, and Surčin).
The economic potential of Belgrade primarily consists of 36,537 registered
companies (38.3 % of Serbia’s total) and 40,688 entrepreneurs (19.7 % of Serbia’s
total).
The structure of economy, from the aspect of important economic indicators (total
revenue, profit), shows the dominant share of industry, trade, financial and other
services, transportation, telecommunications, and construction sectors. With over
30% share in GDP and employment, Belgrade has the crucial effect on economy of
the whole Serbia. It is an advantage, but also a great responsibility, to reflect its own
changes in economy and living standards on the whole country.
