8. Purchase of equipment in the past 3 years
Purchase of equipment for business use in the preceding three years

One hundred and twenty six firms [26.5% of respondents], imported their equipment in the past three years.


Documents verifying that the purchased equipment meets Serbian [YUS] technical specifications

The biggest problem in this area concerns unrecognized foreign technical specifications and the waste of time and money for repeating the process of obtaining a domestic certificate.

Sixty-two point nine percent [62.9%] of firms who purchased equipment for business possessed these documents.

Fourteen point five percent [14.5%] of respondents answered that they didn’t possess these documents while the rest of respondents didn’t answer the question at all.


Costs of obtaining equipment

The average time for receiving a technical certificate is about forty-seven [47] days [or thirty-one (31) worker days] while the same time period, excluding the maximum and minimum 10% in value was equal to 27 days [or 14 worker days].

The costs associated with obtaining a certificate [for 23 firms] including the official fees are 890 €, NOT including the cost of the bribe, which of course increases the fees.
