How a liaison office works in Serbia
A
liaison office is a connection between the parent company and the
business registered in Serbia but under particular conditions. As mentioned above, this is also known as a
representative office which is subject to a business address and a local agent to deal with the aspects of your
firm in Serbia. Among the actions and activities of a
liaison office, we mention the following:
• it cannot operate financial transactions;
• it is subject to marketing activities;
• it is the method of promoting the business activities in Serbia.
Your

company formation specialists in Serbia are at your disposal with support and information in this sense and can explain the importance of having a representative for your firm. Likewise, the
