Company registration, which is the first step, can be done entirely remotely, based on POA. The person appointed as the company director is necessary to be present for other activation procedures.
The presence of court translation is required for the process of verifying the documents at the notary office, in case that the founders do not speak Serbian. Hiring a court interpreter and notary fees are included in our service packs. In case of remote company formation, it is required to notarise POA in a foreign country.
