Citizenship by merit, not by investment
The program here is Serbia citizenship by merit, granted by exception under Article 19 of Serbia's Law on Citizenship. There is no fixed investment threshold, and the government decides each application at its discretion.
If you plan to live in Serbia first, Serbia residency through property or a business is a separate route, and its guide explains why three years to permanent residence is not three years to citizenship.
