According to Serbia’s Business Registers Agency, 288 Russian companies registered in Serbia between 24 February and 6 April, when Ukrainians registered only 6 firms. In the same period 10 Russian and 3 Ukrainian companies were deregistered from the Serbian companies’ register.

Serbia has 876 companies fully or partly owned by Russians, as well as 524 entrepreneurs excluding shareholder societies such as the Serbian Oil Industry (NIS), Yugorosgaz and Lukoil Serbia, which have some Russian stakeholders.

Meanwhile the Balkan country has 173 companies owned by Ukrainian firms or nationals, and 96 entrepreneurs officially registered in Serbia, according to the Serbian business registry, N1 added.
