Uzbekistan Opens a Balkan Gateway to Europe

The Center for Economic Research and Reforms (CERR) examines the prospects for expanding trade, economic and investment cooperation between Uzbekistan and Serbia.

As Uzbekistan broadens its economic engagement with Europe, new avenues for cooperation are emerging. Serbia is becoming one of these promising directions, with its strategic location offering Uzbek businesses additional opportunities to access markets across Central and Southeastern Europe.

For Serbia, closer cooperation with Uzbekistan provides access to Central Asia’s growing market as well as new manufacturing and investment opportunities. This complementarity creates considerable scope for taking bilateral economic relations well beyond their current level.

A New Stage in Economic Relations

Economic ties between Uzbekistan and Serbia have gained significant momentum in recent years. In April 2023, Serbia’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic paid an official visit to Uzbekistan.

A major milestone came with the first official visit of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic to Uzbekistan on October 28–31, 2025. Following talks in Tashkent, the two countries signed an Agreement on the Reciprocal Promotion and Protection of Investments and an Agreement on Economic Cooperation.

These agreements established a stronger institutional framework for investment projects and more systematic cooperation between businesses in the two countries.

In May 2026, during a visit by Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Duric, the two sides continued discussions on expanding trade and industrial cooperation. Mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, the chemical industry, agriculture and a number of other sectors were identified among the most promising areas.

The economic rationale for closer cooperation is closely linked to the geographical positions of the two countries and their ability to provide access to broader regional markets.

Serbia lies at the heart of the Balkans, connecting the markets of Central and Southeastern Europe. Uzbekistan, meanwhile, has the largest consumer market in Central Asia and a rapidly expanding industrial base.

This economic complementarity creates opportunities that extend well beyond bilateral trade. For Uzbek businesses, Serbia can serve as a gateway to European markets through the Balkans. For Serbian companies, Uzbekistan offers a platform for expanding their presence across Central Asia.

Trade Is Gaining Momentum

Trade between Uzbekistan and Serbia has expanded rapidly in recent years. Between 2016 and 2025, bilateral trade increased almost ninefold, from $1.4 million to $12 million.

In 2025, Uzbekistan exported $0.9 million worth of goods and services to Serbia, while imports from Serbia exceeded $11 million.

The composition of trade highlights the different nature of the two countries’ supplies.

Food products accounted for the largest share of Uzbekistan’s exports to Serbia at 47%, followed by manufactured goods at 23.8%, services at 20.8%, chemical products at 4.8%, crude materials excluding food at 2.4%, and mineral fuels and lubricants at 1%.

Serbian exports to Uzbekistan, by contrast, are predominantly industrial in nature. Machinery and transport equipment accounted for 50% of imports, followed by chemical products at 20.1% and manufactured goods at 16.8%. Food products represented 4.8%, miscellaneous manufactured articles 4.2%, services 2.6%, and crude materials excluding food 1.5%.

Together, machinery and transport equipment, chemical products and manufactured goods account for 87% of Serbian supplies to Uzbekistan. This predominantly industrial structure creates a solid foundation for developing deeper production cooperation between companies in the two countries.

In 2026, nine enterprises with Serbian capital were operating in Uzbekistan. The cumulative volume of foreign direct investment and loans attracted from Serbia between 2016 and 2025 amounted to $2.2 million.

The next stage of bilateral cooperation could therefore involve a transition toward more sophisticated forms of economic engagement, including contract manufacturing, localization and joint investment projects.

From Trade to Industrial Cooperation

The greatest potential for further cooperation lies in expanding production and investment links between companies in the two countries.

Particularly promising areas include light industry, pharmaceuticals, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, the chemical industry and energy. Opportunities in these sectors include placing manufacturing orders with Uzbek enterprises, localizing production, producing components and implementing joint projects.

Infrastructure represents another promising area. Uzbekistan’s potential participation in railway projects in Serbia is currently being explored. Such cooperation could enable Uzbek companies to expand exports of engineering and construction services and gain experience in implementing projects in European markets.

Serbian companies, in turn, could broaden their participation in infrastructure and industrial projects in Uzbekistan.

Stronger production linkages between enterprises could also increase the involvement of local suppliers from both countries in international value chains.

The new institutional framework, together with investment initiatives and growing industrial cooperation, creates the conditions for bilateral economic relations to move toward a broader and more diversified model.

The Balkan direction could thus become an important route for expanding the presence of Uzbek businesses in Europe, while Uzbekistan could serve as a platform for Serbian companies seeking to establish a long-term presence in Central Asia.

As production ties deepen, companies from Uzbekistan and Serbia may also gain new opportunities to jointly enter third-country markets.

Узбекистан прокладывает балканский маршрут в Европу

Хуршед Асадов, заместитель директора ЦЭИР

Центр экономических исследований и реформ (ЦЭИР) анализирует перспективы торгово-экономического и инвестиционного сотрудничества Узбекистана и Сербии.

Расширение экономических связей Узбекистана с европейскими странами охватывает новые направления сотрудничества. В их числе Сербия, географическое положение которой открывает дополнительные возможности для продвижения узбекского бизнеса на рынках Центральной и Юго-Восточной Европы.

Для Сербии сотрудничество с Узбекистаном, в свою очередь, открывает доступ к растущему рынку Центральной Азии и новым производственным и инвестиционным проектам. Такая взаимодополняемость позволяет рассматривать двусторонние торгово-экономические отношения значительно шире существующих.

Новый этап экономических отношений

Экономические контакты Узбекистана и Сербии заметно активизировались в последние годы. В апреле 2023 года Узбекистан с официальным визитом посетил первый заместитель Премьер-министра и министр иностранных дел Сербии Ивица Дачич.

Значимым этапом стал первый официальный визит Президента Сербии Александра Вучича в Узбекистан 28–31 октября 2025 года. По итогам переговоров в Ташкенте были подписаны Соглашение о взаимном поощрении и защите инвестиций и Соглашение об экономическом сотрудничестве. Новая договорная база расширила возможности для реализации инвестиционных проектов и более системной работы бизнеса двух стран.

В мае 2026 года в ходе визита министра иностранных дел Сербии Марко Джурича стороны продолжили обсуждение расширения торговли и промышленной кооперации. Среди перспективных направлений были обозначены машиностроение, фармацевтика, химическая промышленность, сельское хозяйство и другие отрасли.

Экономический интерес двух стран во многом определяется их географическим положением и возможностями взаимного доступа к региональным рынкам. Сербия находится в центре Балканского региона, связывающего рынки Центральной и Юго-Восточной Европы. Узбекистан располагает крупнейшим потребительским рынком Центральной Азии и растущей промышленной базой. Взаимодополняемость двух экономик расширяет потенциал сотрудничества за пределы двусторонней торговли. Для узбекского бизнеса сербское направление открывает возможности выхода на европейские рынки через Балканы, а для сербских компаний Узбекистан расширяет возможности работы в Центральной Азии.

Торговля набирает динамику

Динамика последних лет показывает быстрое расширение торговых связей между Узбекистаном и Сербией. В 2016–2025 годах взаимный товарооборот увеличился почти в 9 раз, с $1,4 млн до $12 млн.

В 2025 году экспорт Узбекистана в Сербию составил $0,9 млн, тогда как импорт превысил $11 млн.

Структура торговли отражает различия в характере взаимных поставок. В экспорте Узбекистана преобладают продовольственные товары (47%). Далее следуют промышленные товары (23,8%), услуги (20,8%), химическая продукция (4,8%), непродовольственное сырье (2,4%), минеральное топливо и смазочные материалы (1%).

Импорт из Сербии в большей степени представлен продукцией промышленного и производственного назначения. Основную часть составляют машины и транспортное оборудование (50%), химическая продукция (20,1%) и промышленные товары (16,8%). На продовольствие приходится 4,8%, различные готовые изделия (4,2%), услуги (2,6%) и непродовольственное сырье (1,5%).

В совокупности машины и транспортное оборудование, химическая продукция и промышленные товары формируют большую часть (87%) сербских поставок в Узбекистан, что отражает преимущественно промышленный характер импорта и создает предпосылки для развития производственной кооперации между предприятиями двух стран.

В 2026 году в Узбекистане действовало 9 предприятий с участием сербского капитала, а совокупный объем привлеченных из Сербии прямых иностранных инвестиций и кредитов за 2016–2025 годы составил $2,2 млн.

Следующий этап сотрудничества может быть связан с переходом к более сложным форматам взаимодействия, включая контрактное производство, локализацию и совместные проекты.

От торговли к промышленной кооперации

Перспективы дальнейшего сотрудничества связаны с расширением производственных и инвестиционных связей между предприятиями двух стран. Наибольший интерес представляют легкая промышленность, фармацевтика, машиностроение, электротехника, химическая промышленность и энергетика, в рамках которых рассматриваются возможности размещения заказов на узбекских предприятиях, локализация производства, выпуск комплектующих и реализация совместных проектов.

Отдельное направление связано с инфраструктурой. Прорабатывается участие узбекской стороны в железнодорожных проектах в Сербии. Для Узбекистана такое сотрудничество расширяет возможности экспорта инженерных и строительных услуг и участия национальных компаний в проектах на европейском рынке. Сербские компании, в свою очередь, могут расширять присутствие в инфраструктурных и промышленных проектах в Узбекистане.

Производственные связи между предприятиями создают возможности для расширения участия местных поставщиков и компаний двух стран в международные производственные цепочки.

Новая договорная основа, инвестиционные проекты и промышленная кооперация позволят создать возможности для перехода к широкому формату экономического взаимодействия.

Балканское направление тем самым может стать одним из маршрутов расширения присутствия узбекского бизнеса в Европе, а Узбекистан площадкой для развития долгосрочного присутствия сербских компаний в Центральной Азии. Дальнейшее развитие производственных связей создает предпосылки и для совместного выхода компаний двух стран на третьи рынки.
