Southeast Europe is entering a new cycle: investment strategies are shifting, digitalisation is accelerating, tourism is reshaping demand, and developers are navigating a more complex macro environment. Against this backdrop, Balkans Property Forum 2025 returns to Belgrade on 9 December for the ninth time to bring together the people shaping the region’s real estate future.


As one of Property Forum’s longest-running regional events, the conference offers an up-to-date view on what will drive markets in 2026 — from capital flows and financing conditions to emerging proptech tools and the growing influence of cross-border tourism. With senior representatives from leading banks, investors, hotel groups and advisory firms, the forum provides a practical look at where the opportunities are and how market players are preparing for the next phase of growth.
