And is domestic demand for luxury really that deep? We're talking a poor country of maybe 7 million, tops.

Serbia's per capita income is most similar to that of Angola and the Dominican Republic.

There's probably more of a market than you realize because so much of the infrastructure was destroyed in the war and hasn't been rebuilt. It's a stable society in Europe so it's far from a saturated market in any way. I agree that on paper in some respects it doesn't look promising but eventually it'll probably work out.
