What you will see inside
Real PDF pages: cover, executive summary, charts and competitive tables.
Demand, competition, consumer and strategic opportunity in a young market outside the EU (currency dinar, RSD) with a strong culture of sitting down at the kafana (traditional café) and a third-wave scene concentrated in Belgrade (Kafeterija, Przionica D59B, Crna Ovca, 7AM) and Novi Sad. The intelligence you need before entering: where, against whom and with what economics. Figures in RSD with euro equivalents (~117 RSD/EUR), with labour cost in figures (minimum wage of 371 RSD/hour, employer charges of just ~15.15%) and a structural price barrier that defines the margin model.

Each section answers a concrete question an entrepreneur or investor asks before entering.
Serbia combines the traditional kafana and dark espresso with a booming third-wave scene in Belgrade and Novi Sad. The barrier is price: importing green coffee costs more than in the EU, yet espresso sells for ~€1. TAM / SAM / SOM sizing and demand drivers 2026–2030, in RSD with euro equivalents.
Reference specialty chains and roasters (Kafeterija —founded in 2014, already more than 60 locations—, Przionica D59B, Crna Ovca, 7AM Coffee Roasters, Aviator, Java Coffee), imports and supply chain, and where the entry gaps sit by channel and by area.
Chains, roasters and B2B brands, independent competitors venue by venue, with an integrated block of interviews and verifiable quotes from leaders of the Belgrade scene (Nenad Stojanović —national barista champion—, 7AM Coffee Roasters, Hotel Beograd).
Pricing and ticket architecture, unit economics of a store, staffing and labour cost (2026 minimum wage of 371 RSD net/hour, employer charges of just ~15.15%), taxation with the PDV (VAT) nuance (served coffee and retail beans at 20%, the reduced 10% rate does not cover hospitality) plus an excise of ~140.88 RSD/kg and mandatory e-fiscalisation (electronic fiscal invoicing), an FX buffer (RSD/EUR ~117), and deep dives into Belgrade and Novi Sad.

Serbia is not in the eurozone: the real operation is in Serbian dinar (RSD) and the report models it with euro equivalents at a conservative internal rate (~117 RSD/EUR). Each figure is cited with its confidence level.
From primary, verified sources: HS0901 trade data (OEC/BACI), population and GDP (World Bank), visible supply (European Coffee Trip), taxation (PwC, Poreska uprava), public interviews from the scene and trade press. Each figure is cited with its confidence level and read as an order of magnitude. We never use inflated or invented numbers.
For anyone evaluating entry into Serbia's specialty coffee market: entrepreneurs, expanding brands, investors and sector suppliers. Not for those who already operate and know the market better than anyone.
