SERBIA: NEW FORMS OF SECURITIES IN THE PLEDGE REGISTER

Business Registers Agency announced that, as of 1 January 2021, it will commence with registration of two new contracts in the Register of Pledges on Movable Property and Rights – pledge contract with transfer of the pledged asset into the possession of the creditor and contract on sales of movable assets with withholding ownership rights in order to secure seller’s claim until the price is paid in total.
