Economic activity in Serbia is increasingly driven by land utilization and regional investment. Initially, owners of uncultivated land have turned to leasing for passive income, specifically through renewable energy projects like solar power plants and tourism-related ventures such as glamping. Solar leases can last up to 25 years, while tourism leases utilize natural attractions for mobile accommodations.

This trend has expanded into broader investment activity, particularly in the Zlatibor region. Driven by state and local modernization and infrastructure improvements, real estate demand has surged. By March 2026, land prices in Zlatibor reached record highs, with premium plots valued as much as 4.7 million euros for luxury hotel and apartment developments.
