The Republic Geodetic Authority (RGZ) announced that, according to the latest World Bank global report, Serbia has been ranked fourth out of 85 countries surveyed for the efficiency and digital transformation of real estate management institutions.
The statement notes that Serbia is ranked just behind countries with highly advanced systems such as South Korea, Latvia and China, while traditional leaders in land administration like Austria and Germany are positioned lower — 20th and 39th, respectively. In the region, Slovenia is ranked 8th and Croatia 17th, while other neighboring countries placed significantly lower.
“This result is not only a recognition for our country but also a confirmation that Serbia is now among global leaders in terms of the reliability, transparency, accessibility, and efficiency of real estate management systems. It also shows that Serbia has made significant strides ahead of its neighbors and is setting new standards,” the RGZ stated.
Borko Drašković, Director of the RGZ, said this achievement is the result of years of hard work, bold decisions, and strategic reforms. “Today, the RGZ is not just a real estate registration service, but a pillar supporting the digital transformation of the entire country,” he said, adding that, thanks to these results, the RGZ has been invited to participate in the World Bank’s main global Land Conference.
At the conference, RGZ’s Assistant Director for Development and Innovation, Darko Vučetić, will speak at the main session dedicated to the potential of modern land administration systems in shaping public policies, as well as at a special panel on tools for monitoring corruption and enhancing transparency.
“The report confirms that Serbia’s digital reform has set new global standards and models, and that the RGZ has become a key pillar for building an efficient spatial management system. This success is not just recognition for the institution and the country but also a guarantee that we live in a nation where digital solutions truly serve the interests of its citizens,” the statement concludes.
