The SME Go Green initiative run by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) with the European Union has supported 289 investment projects in Serbia, representing €45.5 million in total investments. That figure measures the projects’ investment volume, not the value of grants paid out, according to the EBRD.
What the data shows
Across the Western Balkans, the programme has supported 450 projects involving more than €80 million in investment since launching in late 2023. Businesses have financed solar power, energy storage, more efficient industrial equipment and cleaner transport.
One example is Serbia’s DMA Koping, which makes glass, aluminium and steel structures. The company installed an automated insulating-glass production line, improving output, planning and the use of materials while reducing downtime and waste. An EU-funded grant covered 10% of its eligible investment.
What it means
For eligible renewable-energy, agribusiness and related value-chain projects, the scheme can provide grants equivalent to 15% of the loan amount; other eligible investments can receive 10%, alongside technical assistance. Participating financial institutions in Serbia include Banca Intesa, OTP, NLB Komercijalna, UniCredit and Erste, as well as leasing providers. Approval is subject to programme rules and lender assessment; funding is not guaranteed to every applicant.
