During 2020, 116,737 applications for building permits were submitted, which is 8 percent more than in 2019, and by February this year, 98 percent of applications were resolved, of which 86 percent with a positive outcome, concluded the Annual Report of NALED’s Property and Investment Alliance.
According to NALED data, Sremska Mitrovica, Novi Sad, Sombor, Kragujevac and Sabac were on the list of the most successful cities in Serbia in issuing construction permits last year.
The Property and Investments Alliance also sent initiatives to the Government of Serbia and relevant institutions for resolving the issue of property in Serbia and improving the conditions for construction and investments. Among them, there are proposals for enabling free registration in the cadastre in the next two years in order to encourage citizens to register real estate, repeal the law on conversion which does not achieve the goals for which it was passed and block construction, extend the deadline for legalization and enable mass legalization where there are no disputes over real estate, as well as the development of the eSpace system for more efficient development of spatial and urban plans.
