- As legislated by regulations of Republic of Serbia, land is leased for a period of up to 99 years when the construction of manufacturing facilities is in question. Municipality of Zrenjanin’s decision is that the land located at the industrial zones is assigned to the investors free of charge.
- Production can also be organized inside the “Free Zone Zrenjanin”. Expenses associated with the use of “Free Zone Zrenjanin” are negotiated with the “Association for Free Zone Management” according to the volume of business and traffic across the “Free Zone Zrenjanin” and they range from 0.3% to 0.5% of gross income of an enterprise in the “Free Zone Zrenjanin”.

A) Pay the fee for implementing and equipping infrastructure on that location which is 570 dinars/m2 (7 Euro/m2) of the allocated land
B) After the completion of the facility, pays the fee for the use of the facility that is calculated based on the location and the nature of the manufacturing. This fee is paid monthly per m2 of the facility and ranges from 3 to 8 dinars/m2 of the constructed facility.
