The Deposit Insurance Agency (AOD), acting as bankruptcy administrator for failed banks, has announced the sale of 239 million euros worth of claims owed by companies and entrepreneurs. Interested buyers are required to offer at least 7.14 million euros — roughly 3% of the total debt. The sale comes with no guarantees regarding repayment or the enforceability of collateral such as mortgages.
The deadline for submitting offers for debts owed to Beogradska banka in bankruptcy is 13 January 2026. Separately, claims from Privredna banka Beograd totaling 19.6 million euros are also being offered for just 1.14 million euros.
Buyers will be able to conduct legal and financial due diligence before finalising their offers, but must sign confidentiality agreements.
Experts note that such sales of distressed bank assets, often at a small fraction of their nominal value, are not unusual. Past reports highlighted similar transactions where struggling companies acquired claims linked to valuable land and property, despite limited repayment guarantees.
