Fiat Serbia
Serbian automobile manufacturing company
FCA Serbia (Serbian: ФКА Србија, romanized: FKA Srbija), formerly FIAT Automobiles Serbia (FAS) from 2008 to 2014, is a Serbian automotive manufacturing company based in Kragujevac, Serbia. It is a joint venture (JV) between Stellantis, which owns 67% of the operation, and the Government of Serbia, which owns the remainder.
The company headquarters and assembly plant are located on the former site of Zastava Automobiles (1953–2008) – 70 miles south of Belgrade on the Lepenica river in the country's central Šumadija region. Heavily damaged during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the factory was completely renovated and modernized, reopening in April 2012 as one of Europe's state-of-the-art car factories.
During the 2010s, the JV used to be the largest foreign industrial investment in Serbia and the country's largest exporter, with exports valued at 1 billion euro ($1.1 billion) in 2016.
As of 2023, the operation had roughly 670 employees and worked closely with 15 other companies and component suppliers, many located at the adjacent Grosnica Supplier Park — with a combined workforce of roughly 6,000 tied to production at Fiat Serbia. The factory has a daily output of roughly 500 cars.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Fiat Serbia” as serbian automobile manufacturing company. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as serbian automobile manufacturing company. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5861474. VIAF identifies the subject as 235260046. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008, 2014, 1953 and 2012.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
