It is an apartment in the location Belgrade on the water, Savski venac municipality.

Also, let us remind you, such high real estate prices were recorded in a city where the average salary is about 92,000 dinars, according to the latest data from the RZS. We did not find data on how much the medial salary is in Belgrade, but considering what the medial salary is at the national level, it is assumed that Belgrade follows a similar trend, writes bizlife.rs.
By the way, the average salary at the level of the entire country is 73,000, and the median is 56,000. This means that 50 percent of employees receive less than RSD 56,000.
Judging by real estate prices and salaries, it is clear that citizens in Serbia have a hard time affording a roof over their heads, and lately, with the large influx of Russians due to the conflict in Ukraine, real estate prices have risen significantly, and, as experts predict, it is expected that in the following period, this situation will be even more difficult.
