Executive summary
Illicit cigarette sales declining
Official statistics show that in the last few years there has been an increase in sales of tobacco products. This data actually represents a transition from illegal to legal sales channels, while only the legal channels were accessible to statistical institutions. The government has succeeded in reducing the percentage of illicit tobacco products to the lowest level in the region in a very short period of time.
Prices in Serbia lower than prices elsewhere in the region
Tobacco products in Serbia account for a large share of expenditure for the average smoker, although prices are lower than elsewhere in the region. A higher standard of living will allow producers to increase their product prices in the future.
CEFTA opens up the Serbian market
Serbia and Montenegro signed up to the Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) in 2007, but only in September after months of negotiations did Serbia finally approve the document in parliament. This agreement replaces many bilateral free trade agreements that were in place in the region and also abolishes many restrictions and simplifies trade in the region. CEFTA guarantees equal taxation levels for all CEFTA tobacco producers; in addition, CEFTA has removed the mandatory purchase of low-quality domestic tobacco for Serbian tobacco companies.
Multinational companies see Serbia as a regional centre
Multinational companies, the owners of major domestic cigarette producers, ensure that the tobacco market is well supplied with their products in this part of Europe. All of them see Serbia as a regional centre, which gives them a presence in CEFTA and other regional markets. With the purchase of local companies, they have more or less bought markets in Southeastern Europe.
Government stimulates domestic tobacco production
The Serbian government receives a huge amount of revenue each year from tobacco taxation. The government also wishes to protect the tobacco industry because it employs a great number of people. If domestic tobacco farmers improve the quality of their products and reach the necessary standards, they can become partners of multinational companies, which would offer them stable and long-term profitability.
