Summary/Abstract: Remittances are for Serbia most important source of foreign capital, but the remittances and diaspora received little public attention. In this paper we analyze different characteristics of the Serbian diaspora, it’s possible motives for sending remittances and ways to channel remittances into productive use. Given the great disunity of the Serbian diaspora, as well as bad experiences with investing in the development of the it’s home country, we should not expect large effects of a call for help and patriotism. Efficient approach to Serbian diaspora involves the development of new relationships and new offers for investment in the home country.
