Do you know what is minimum requirements for amplifier (for my desired 3 zones), if I take this speaker selector?
Can I go with 5.1 AV receiver?

I am using an Adcom 60 watt per channel amp, a Mod Squad passive line controller, along with the Niles to control 3 zones of in-wall speakers. This has served me well as a "household system" for years. Obviously, not for "serious" listening, yet good quality for background music.

I did some research and this AV receiver (7.2-channel) would work too; it would power 3 zones:

That's a heck of a deal! ...The best.
If your budget is $300 this is it man, but you live in Europe...former Yugoslavia.

You need an American friend who would buy it for you, and ship it to you (if that is possible) and with the extra shipping/duty fees. I have zero clue.
But, those models you can check if they are available near you and for how much (best deals).
They are older models (a year or more), so they cost less but that's the use you have for; 3 powered zones.

Here are two more (just below $600):

So, something to look for nearby; six AV receivers that would all do what you asked for, and between $300 and $580. The best deal happens to be the less expensive one, for $300 (@ 75% off).
Thanks a million :)
You did a research for me after all, but it is thanks to your goodness and my extreme ignorance...
So, I'm super close to get what I want.
To clarify something; I am originally from former Yugoslavia, and my family lives there, but I live and work in USA.
Going on vacations to Europe, the first week of August, that is why I am panicky looking for the right AV. I want to take it with me.
So you clearly explained (and thank you once more) what do I need. I'm ok up to 600$.
The only thing is to find one of those that has 110-240v range, so I can plug it in 220v.
Following your advice, I checked manuals of a few suggested AVs, and can't find that info (you see now how clumsy I am?).
I'll contact Crutchfiled to ask if they have any 9.2 3 zones AV, in 110-240v range.
Thanks for being so helpful :)

Thanks buddy, you nailed it with this one. My last task before purchase was to find out what's minimal watts for the transfomer, but you was faster. And smarter.
I will let you know what I've bought.
And will sent you a video so you can see how happy you made us ;)
THANKS!
