Abstract: With its numerous beneficial effects on reducing unemployment, increasing productivity, competitiveness of the economy on the global market and improvement of living standards, foreign direct investments are the engine of economy and economic development of any country. The Republic of Serbia has an ascending line of the foreign investment inflow, primarily due to a favorable geographic location and transport infrastructure that are a good starting basis. Presentation and promotion of the Serbian economy, its natural and human resources, informing foreign investors about the conditions and opportunities of doing business in Serbia are the most important tasks to be carried out. The aim of this paper is to analyze movement trends of FDI in Serbia as one of the leading country in Western Balkan region, with special emphasis on evaluation of the investment environment. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, the paper consists three parts, where the first refers to the global investment trends, the second analyzes trend, the level and structure of FDI inflows in Serbia and the third part relates to the assessment of investment activities in Serbia with recommendations for improvement.
