Serbia Prime Site One Ag SERBIA PRIME SITE ONE SERBIA PRIME SITE ONE Jan Schoch plans to realize the CHF 100 million project Serbia Prime Site One through a Swiss corporation. This will expectedly represent, after Holcim, the second largest foreign direct investment from Switzerland in Serbia’s history. This document is based on a detailed Valuation Report and a Real Estate Market Study conducted by CBRE in Belgrade, Serbia. INTRODUCTION “With this presentation, I would like to introduce you to my newest developments that I am planning to realize in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. Over the last few years I have implemented various real estate developments across Switzerland through my own real estate platform Valastone. In my home village of Appenzell alone, I have successfully built high-priced developments in both the residential and hotel market with a value of over CHF 70 million. Through my most recent business activities and partnerships, I have decided to enter Serbia’s real estate market by opening Valastone’s new branch in Belgrade. The country’s development over the last decade shows continuous growth, espe- cially in the real estate market. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 crisis has been Jan Schoch recognized as favourable in terms of the demand for purchasing real estate. The Serbian Government has even initiated a program to subsidize purchases of first apartments.” – Jan Schoch 4 WHY INVESTING IN SERBIA Serbia is a South-eastern European country and is lo- For the last year, the world has been struggling with cated in the central part of the Balkan Peninsula and the novel coronavirus, which has provoked a global the southern part of the Pannonian Plain.

The watershed moment followed the demolitions of 25 April 2016, when citizens showed up in great numbers to protest, demanding resignations and laying criminal responsibility at the door of officials. We led the biggest civic protests since those that toppled Slobodan Milošević in 2000. Movement transformed into political organization which participated in the local elections. Key achievement is positioning of the topics of urban development and citizen participation in decision making process as one of most important issues in public sphere in Belgrade.

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.
