The decision of Jagodina’s authorities to offer the Russian capital and Moscow’s Chamber of Commerce 3.5 hectares of land next to Corridor 10 is explained by Mayor Dragan Markovic with a claim that those are meadows and arable parcels which cost nothing.

By the way, there are statues of Putin and Tadic at the Wax Figures Museum. If asphalted roads are a synonym for a good living standard, it means that Jagodina citizens live quite well.

They do not estimate activities of the municipal authorities pursuant to their salaries or living standard. However, statistics says that the salaries are below the Republic average and amount to about 27,000 Dinars.

If it wasn’t for Jagodina, Serbia wouldn’t have had a town which welcomes its visitors with a billboard saying “Free land for investors”. Even a laymen who visits this municipality in Central Serbia will think that this town has “an unusual” treatment of those willing to construct.

But if the tourist has carefully monitored the recent official visits of Jagodina’s Mayor Dragan Markovic Palma, this message could be considered a kind regard to especially Russian investors.
