What the document holds
Government Decision of 22 Nov 2018 (Službeni list CG 79/2018, 5 image-only pages) creating the special investment programme: competent authority; intermediary and due-diligence agents chosen by public call, licence conditions (3 years' experience, 3 states incl. one EU; criminal record), one-year licences renewable twice, licence fee EUR 50,000 a year for intermediaries (free for due-diligence agents), agent lists; applicant criteria (fees EUR 15,000 / 10,000 per family member up to four / 50,000 each further; EUR 100,000 escrow for less developed municipalities; EUR 450,000 or 250,000 escrow for a listed development project; criminal record; positive due diligence incl. source of funds); tourism project criteria (stars, EUR 15m/5m minimum investment, 80/25 employees, 60/35 units); agriculture/industry projects; application and family members; procedure (report to the PM, Interior Ministry, escrow transfer checked by an independent auditor); cap of 2,000 applications; loss of citizenship for false data without refund; in force on the eighth day after publication, applies 1 Jan 2019-31 Dec 2021. Fees, donation, project investment amounts and two events were already in the dataset; this pass adds the remaining numeric rules as terms (agent licence fee, cap, tourism project thresholds, adult-child age). Not recorded as terms because the document writes them in words: licence validity of one year renewable twice, agents' three years' experience in three states, the disqualifying prison sentence of more than one year. The entry-into-force date (eighth day after publication) is not recorded as an event because the document does not print the date. Rules restated from other sources are now recorded from this document too (decision 8).
