Favorable local incentives and competitive operational costs, like moderate tax rates, lower salaries, labor costs and utility taxes should also be mentioned, as well as active local self-governments at the service of investors. The Free Zone in Pirot, which is expanding to Dimitrovgrad and Babušnica – two more municipalities in the Pirot district, is also one of the best in Europe and the world in terms of doing-business environment.
