CTP announced its first acquisition in Serbia less than 1.5 years ago. What are your current expansion plans?
CTP has been operational in Serbia for almost 2 years. We have a total of 150,000 square metres under development in different stages, in 7 buildings, 5 projects, 4 locations and 3 cities – Belgrade, Kragujevac and Novi Sad. We consider Serbia a strategic market and we are interested in covering the whole country with CTParks.
