Ministry of Economy and APR Present New, Unified Database of Companies with State Ownership

The Ministry of Economy of Serbia, in cooperation with the Business Registers Agency (APR), yesterday presented the publicly available Unified Database for Business Entities in which the Republic of Serbia has ownership, within the Register of Business Entities, and which, through an innovative digital platform, will enable data transparency, with a simple and quick browsing of the sought information.

Assistant minister Dubravka Drakulic pointed out that it was the first step toward fulfilling the Action Plan within the Strategy of State Ownership and Management of Business Entities Owned by the Republic of Serbia for the period between 2021 and 2027.

The director of APR, Milan Lucic, said that the Business Registers Agency ran 10 registers at that moment as activities entrusted within the competence of the Ministry of Economy.

– An overview of business data, the legal status and the percentage of the state’s ownership in a business entity, information about the founding and changes registered in those and other entities which have an impact on business entities owned by the Republic of Serbia are published within the register. Also published are decisions of registrars, based on which the founding and the changes of the data on the members, legal representatives, members of supervisory and executive boards, the capital, the branches and other status data of business entities are registered, as well as the founding acts, statutes and other documents of these entities, which are registered within the Register of Business Entities at APR – Lucic stated.

As he said, the data on 314 business entities are available through search, and the register will be automatically updated with data from the Register of Business Entities, so the Business Registers Agency, along with other business and financial data, will also secure the transparency of business data on the business entities owned by the state.
