Zelezara Smederevo (steel production) is operating in Smederevo, and for a long time it has been the backbone of the city economic development and one of the biggest exporters in Serbia. Smederevo is rapidly working on equipping the New industrial zone (84 ha) and establishing the free trade regime which VAT and customs exemptions for export oriented manufacturers. Located at the „Wine road“, with the largest plain fortress in Europe, beautiful sports complexes and picnic areas, Smederevo is the right place to invest and live in.
