- Every year about five billion dollars inflow in Serbia, just on the basis of remittances from the diaspora, which accounts for about 14 percent of the gross domestic product of the country.
The Republic of Serbia is among the top of 15 countries in terms of volume of remittances,
- one of the goals of the Strategy of preserving and strengthening relations between the mother country and the diaspora and the mother country and Serbs in the region is to improve the transfer of money and create a climate that will be conducive to attracting foreign remittances in the home country financial system, so as to facilitate the transfer of foreign currency remittances by encouraging cheaper, faster and safer ways of delivery of remittances.
