It is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has since ancient times been an important crossing of the ways where the roads of eastern and western Europe meet. The city lies on two international waterways, at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers, which surround it on three sides. Because of this position, Belgrade is fittingly referred to as the Gateway to the Balkans and the Door to Central Europe. The inner, urban area of Belgrade covers an area of 36 km 2 and the total territory of the city is around 322 km 2. The wider city area is 419 km 2.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE AND APARTMENTS A number of constructed residential units in Serbia and Belgrade declined in 2009 and 2010, after a constant increase in the period 2002-2008. Although the data imply less intense activities in previous years, the current plans of investors indicate the market recovery and positive trends in the supply. Serbian Government is pursuing to support the construction industry to alleviate the effects of economic crisis. As a part of anti-crisis measures, the Government has decided to decrease the percentage of citizens participation in financing the subzidized housing loans to 5%, instead of previous 10%. A new Law on the Protection of Financial Services Consumers, which came into force on december 2011, regulates the change of interest rates during the repayment of loan. Banks will not be able to change interest rates according to their unilateral will, as the Law defines precisely the method of determining the interest rate. The age limit is also increased. Married couples over 45 years of age are able to take loans as well. This will enable citizens to get housing loans more easily and will give significant support to the construction industry.
