In addition we shall discus the expected rates of return should the
Republic of Serbia real estates' are acquired for investment purposes
only.
In support of our way of viewing things we would like to convey
Bloomberg's news agency article here in full:
Yahoo Japan is telling its 8,000 employees they can work anywhere in
the country -- and even be flown into work when the job requires it --
bucking the trend of companies looking to return workers to offices in
the third year of the coronavirus pandemic.
The program takes effect April 1 and allows employees to commute by
plane, which wasn't previously an option, the company said in a
statement Wednesday. While Yahoo is best known for its internet portal
in Japan, it's a unit of SoftBank Group Corp.'s Z Holdings Corp., which
also owns the Line messaging app and PayPay mobile payments
service.
90% of the company's employees are now working remotely, according
to President Kentaro Kawabe, who tweeted that an overwhelming
majority of them said their performance has held steady or improved at
home. "So we're allowing Yahoo employees to live anywhere in Japan.
This doesn't mean we're denying the benefits of the office -- you'll be
able to fly in when needed," he added.
Yahoo is setting a commuting budget of 150,000 yen ($1,300) per month
per worker and lifting its previous daily cap. In-person communication
will still be encouraged as the initiative is also aimed at bolstering
morale and wellbeing, with social gatherings to be subsidised by 5,000
yen per employee a month.
The company has had an "office anywhere" remote work system in
place since 2014, however it had capped the number of work-fromhome
days before the virus took hold to five days a month.
Japanese companies have responded to the pandemic by embracing
flexible work arrangements, which were rare before 2020 in a culture
that once prided itself on direct interaction in the office and long working
hours. Panasonic Corp. last week unveiled plans for a four-day
workweek, an initiative Mizuho Financial Group Inc. already has
underway.

In our view due to our experience when it comes to assisting individual
and professional investors in acquiring home or investing in real estate,
quality of life indicator has a limited use as the factors included in
depicting and calculating it are unable to catch a full glimpse of
environment, that is, its advantages and disadvantages. However it can
paint pretty accurate picture.
Factors that influence Quality Of Life Index are Purchasing Power
Index, Safety Index, Health Care Index, Cost of Living Index, Property
Price to Income Index, Time Commute Index, Pollution Index &
Climate Index.
When it comes to Costs of Living Index for example, according to
research of people at NUMBEO (numbeo.com - which we believe has a
good enough way of processing data and eliminating "noise") they are
at a approximately over half, then the ones in US or UK, for example.
This could be seen as an encouraging factor for anyone who wants to
work in remote moving from a country where costs of living a higher,
knowing that once he decides to sell the related real estate one would
earn not only from price appreciation and/or by renting it, but also
from savings in costs of life if one decides to live in it, enjoying the
local rate of returns on real estate investment, which levels we shall
discus further also within this site.

omes from the Turkish words "kale" - that is, fortress and "megdan" which means field.

The country goes steadily towards complete digitalisation of its public
sector and the economy which significantly contributes to life's
comfort. We estimate full effect by the end of 2024.
Furthermore existence of 5G network, which we gauge to take full
grasp in next couple of years, in major urbanised parts of the country,
will additionally raise quality of life and work. To support such a new
environment is vast availability of IT professionals.

estate market as we see them as a good tradeoff between luxury and
price and furthermore life's opportunities in such an enhanced
environment for family life, work from home where your employer is
elsewhere, or if you decide live and work locally.

that are more important to all like spending more time with friend and

for more ambitious goals.
For business investors digitalised management systems and
introduction of new services, exponentially speeds up the progress

development steps can be omitted. Remote location management can
shine in its role even more. It further promotes bringing together
different professionals that now becomes even easier, where knowledge
base, experience and daily work day can be shared more efficiently
among people working even in different parts of the globe.

Why would you like to own a real estate in Republic of Serbia?
Work From Home
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we think about working from home: The Wold Bank new estimate as of 2021 of the share of jobs that can be
performed from home, takes into account access to the internet, and
finds that globally in average, one in every 5 jobs can be done from
home; in higher income countries this 1 in 5 relation grows. Working
from home needs to be supported by ICT infrastructure. Republic of
Serbia is scheduled for installation in 2022 of as far as 5G network,
enabling the country's enjoying the potential of full benefits
prospective of the 4th industrial revolution. We believe that this facts
will influence Serbian real estate market in the future and especially
real estates in its capital, Belgrade, aside from other also important
factors that we shall discuss further.
We shall argue that if you work from home in country where isn't also
your employer, for the sake of example, you can do it also from
Belgrade or anywhere in Serbia and enjoy the benefits the county
offers.

12 January 2022, 05:25 CETGeographical Convenience
Republic of Serbia is conveniently located in South East of Europe,
and it can be considered as a suitable base for business activities
throughout eastern Europe where it acts as a leader in business
activities. Due to geographical vicinity Europe all the countries and
European Union in particular is the next best place to do business
with. br>
A lot of European countries are longer or shorter day drive away.
For example one can drive till Zurich (Switzerland), Milan (Italy),
Munich (Germany) and Prague (Czech Republic) is close to 10 hours
drive. Other European capitals like Sofia (Bulgaria's capital), Zagreb
(Croatia's capital), Vienna (Austrian capital), Bratislava (Slovakian
capital) and Budapest (Hungarian capital) are close to 5h drive.
In addition Athens (Greece's capital), Bucharest (Romania's capital) and
Istanbul (Turkey's capital) or a beautiful sea cost cities in Montenegro
one ought to consider somewhat longer drive of close to 11 hours from
a starting point in Belgrade, countries capital or even half that time if
starting point is from another, Serbian city of Niš, located more south
of the country.
Republic of Serbia "Nikola Tesla" Airport is an international airport
serving Belgrade, its capital, situated 18 km (11 mi) west of downtown
Belgrade and is operated by French conglomerate "Vinci Airports" and
it is named after Serbian - American inventor Nikola Tesla. The
convenience of this airport can be seen in daily flights to London in
UK and flight is conveniently 3h flight, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Prague,
Warsaw, Copenhagen and Oslo close 2h flight while flight to Rome,
Athens, Vienna is somewhat over and hour. Frequency of this direct
flights are on a daily basis and popular business centres in this part of
the world have few flights per day. Furthermore, Air Serbia, national
airplane company flies directly to New York in United States 3x week
and Moscow in Russia few flights a day.
So in our wives if one work on line from home and has a need to have
periodical face to face meetings can enjoy from the country and the
town, like in old Egyptian times. preferable position on delta of two
large European continent rivers, vast Danube and Sava.

How to do it?
Quality of Life For Individuals And Families
Quality of life is core factor when deciding on investment in your
home, second home or seen as investment for the sake of enlarging you
wealth. Attempt to measure or in other words quantify quality of life
can be achieved by taking into account Quality Of Life Index.Health Care Accessibility and Quality
When we talk of health care, for a relatively not large monthly fee of no
more than $30 one can have a complete state insurance. If one wants to
add to it non-state insurance or so called private insurance, in order to
avoid periods of waiting and access to renowned experts one needs to
add monthly some $70.
This monthly contributions covers up 95% of
cases. Safety Matters
When it comes to safety, Republic Serbia has a low risk index. Safety
Index of 77 is considered low risk. It is measured and published by
internet based business of publishing: www.travelsafe-abroad.com.
Their index rank countries from 0-100, 0-33 being the most dangerous,
33-66 somewhat safe/dangerous, and 66-100 being the safest. They
analyse data from public sources such as police reports and
international polls and ran proprietary formula to calculate the risk
based on the number of incidents including mugging, drugs, violent
crimes, bribery, property crimes, stolen vehicles, religion based
conflicts, racial tolerance and other.
They write: "In our experience Republic of Serbia has always been a
kind of an unknown surprise, even for people living in Europe, and
they are always surprised, rightly so, at how welcoming its cities are, as
well as its culture. When we say rightly so, we believe there has not
been enough of country's promotion and information spread world
wide".
** South East European countries are Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina,
Serbia, Macedonia, Hungary, Romania,Moldova, Bulgaria, Greece, Albania and
Montenegro.
*** Balkan peninsula countries are SE Europe countries but without Hungary,
Romania and Moldova.
Countries ranking in accordance to safety
factors: World Economic Forum, The Global Institute For Peace.
Continental Climate
Mostly Continental Climate with Mediterranean influence in the south.
This considers hot summers in the range of 25° C (77℉) to 35° C (95℉)
degrees often more during the 2 weeks in the middle of summer.
Serbia has cold winters as a contrast to its summers where
temperatures linger from around 0° C (32&4#857;) to 11/12° C (52℉). Snow and
rain are evenly and moderately distributed throughout the year,
benefiting nature lovers and dominantly present focus on agriculture.
Enjoy Beauty in Serbia
What makes Serbian landscape so peculiar, are its various natural features located one next to the other.
There are mountains, plains, deserts, mild forested landscapes with series of streams and calm rivers, steep canyons, caves and thermal springs
that have been used for healing since the age of Romans.
Nature is extremely well maintained trhough protected natural areas where you can enjoy natural ecosystems and colorful landscapes.
Golubac is on the edge of the mighty Danube,
giving an intimidating impression from the get-go. This hasn't changed the fortress going through many different hands over the centuries and even now, it remains
one of Serbia's most photographed sites.
Omnipresence Of The English Language Speakers
The English language is being wide spread among population and you
constantly encounter english speaking individuals. This is true for
every profession.
Furthermore the people working in bars, restaurants
and coffee shops. If you are thinking, what about the supermarkets and
shopping malls, there you can always find somebody that works there
that speaks the language and will be able to help you, if the accession
call for it. In other cases things in those places are organised in
straightforward way without any need for further assistance.
Environment's Education Is Important For Quality Of Life
Furthermore what's important to support the quality communication,
good and efficient interaction and to facilitate any business inclinations
of any potential investor, can be assessed best in our opinion through
years of schooling.
(Source: The Republic Association fro Statistics)
Quality of Schools Influence Quality Of Life Of A Family
There are Day Cares, Pre School And Schools that are entirely
conducted in foreign languages like English, French, German and
Italian. Those school carry licences from the most renewed educational
senators world wide like Cambridge, Oxford and other.
Luxury for a price
We promote part of Serbian real estate sector, mostly located by large
river delta of large Sava river that flows first though few neighbouring
counties and European famous Danube river, and is usually inhabited
or used as an office space by middle and high end income individuals.
We believe that this real estates offer decent long term returns in
addition to offering modern, higher end life style.

Culture And Cultural Events

some restaurants and shopping malls they might require from you,
especially if your friend is a larger dog, to place a dog-muzzle for a time
that you plan to spend there.
For those who love horses and enjoy spending time around them there
are few horseback ridding clubs and schools located just outside
Hippodrome which is in turn within city limits adjacent to core centre.
Our personal favourite is Aleksa Dundic horseback ridding club and
school.
Aleksa Dundic Horseback Ridding Club
Tolerance For Difference
Republic of Serbia is viewed as tolerant and free ambient when it
comes to cultural, religious or racial difference. Being geographically
and historically positioned on a place where "East" meets "West"
Serbia have developed a welcoming attitude.
Furthermore in the 60ties of the last century when country was a
member of a larger state called Yugoslavia, together with Slovenias,
Croats, Macedonias and Bosnias was also at a time and for decades on a
member of "Not Aligned Nations Movement" Movement represented
circa half of the world's population like India, Egypt, South Africa,
China and many other and was almost two-thirds of the United
Nations. 5G Existence As A Heart And Lungs of Technological Progress Or As Called: "Next Industrial Revolution"
To people who plans to buy, at AMI, a real estate for a home or as an
investment it is important to mention how new technologies contribute
to the environment.
Country' s
technical Universities meticulously follow the lates trends in science.
These professionals frequently fluctuate from and to country with ease
bringing new ideas, and professional experiences.A little On 5G Convenience
Unlike all previous generations of mobile telephony, the 5G generation
brings much faster network response and much higher data transfer
speeds, that for many applications, such as virtual and augmented
reality are especially important, as they bring higher quality, easier
access and development of new features and services.
In light of this, it is not difficult to envision environment where
socialisation and collaboration are raised on new levels. Furthermore, it
helps the development of the internet of things where machines,
network of large number of censor managed services in our homes and
cities.
