According to Serbian Economist, Chinese manufacturer of humanoid robots Agibot plans to start mass production in Serbia in 2026 or 2027, the company’s European director William Shi said after a presentation in Belgrade.
The project will be realized together with a strategic partner, Minth Holdings (a Hong Kong-listed auto component manufacturer). In the first phase, 1,000-2,000 humanoid robots are planned to be produced in Serbia.
Shi noted that robot production includes “hardware” and ‘software’ and the company will need a local contractor in Serbia to create AI data and train models, which effectively means forming a separate segment of the “data industry” around the project.
Agibot was founded in 2023 in Shanghai; its line of humanoid robots includes the Yuanzheng, Lingxi and Genies series. Minth has been present in Serbia since 2018, has facilities in Loznica and Šabac, and provides 3,500 jobs.

7,169,197 notarial forms were used by Ukrainian notaries in 2025, according to the Unified Register of Notarial Forms. This is almost as many as a year earlier, but compared to 2021, the turnover decreased by about a quarter. Amid the overall decline, individual categories show different dynamics: the demand for land alienation transactions is growing, while wills and translations are declining.
More than 7 million forms were used by Ukrainian notaries in 2025. Over the year, the number of forms remained almost unchanged, but compared to the beginning of the full-scale reduction, it was significant, by a quarter.
It should be borne in mind that we are talking about the turnover of notarial forms, not the number of transactions. Several forms may be used for one notarial act, so the statistics reflect the volume of document turnover.
You can check the notarial forms in the Notary’s Office. Corporate users can automate these checks with the help of APIs right in their system.
Most often, we formalized inheritance: 1,011,321 forms, which is 5% less than in 2024. Land alienation also remains one of the largest categories, with 888,719 forms. The figure increased by 13% compared to 2021.
At the same time, the alienation of real estate (apartments/buildings) is not in the same demand. Thus, 848,653 such forms were used last year. However, this is still a quarter less by 2021.
The number of forms for wills is also decreasing: 119,133 last year. This is -10% for the year and -26% compared to 2021. Forms for prenuptial agreements remain a niche practice: 7,211 formalizations. Compared to the pre-war period, their number has almost halved, but there have been almost no changes over the past year. For comparison, 165,587 marriages were registered last year.
Other categories include 24,550 certificates of ownership. The number is higher than before the full-scale campaign, but lower than a year earlier. For the alienation of cars, 11,656 forms were used: compared to 2021, there are more such transactions, but the figure has decreased over the past year. Notarized translations accounted for 7,572 forms, which is one of the lowest rates among the popular categories, and it continues to decline.
The register records problematic forms separately. In 2025, there are 167,542 damaged forms: the figure has slightly increased over the past year (+2%). There were 10 stolen forms per year. This is a minimum level compared to previous years.
