The Government of the Republic of Serbia

In the service of citizens

Government adopts several bills

Belgrade, 11 October 2018

The Serbian government adopted today the Bill on amendments to the Law on the legalisation of buildings, the Bill on amendments to the Law on air traffic and the Bill on amendments to the Law on road traffic safety.

The Bill on amendments to the Law on the legalisation of buildings will provide for a more efficient procedure of legalisation and will improve the record of illegal buildings, which will be conducted by the body in charge of the state cadastre affairs.

The main reasons for the adoption of the Bill on amendments to the Law on air traffic are further harmonisation with international standards and recommended practices of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), as well as with European regulations in this area.

The new elements in the law are the provisions relating to the planning and construction of airports, environmental protection, and a new chapter on the transport of dangerous goods has been included, which introduces ICAO standards into domestic legislation.

The Bill on amendments to the Law on road traffic safety proposes abolishing the obligation for the citizens who have vehicles that are more than 15 years old to carry out a technical inspection every six months.

By abolishing this obligation, the government comes out to meet the needs of a large number of citizens who own older vehicles. Also, this legal solution abolishes the so-called zero technical inspection for newly manufactured vehicles.

The owners of these vehicles will be able to make a first registration of the vehicle without submitting proof of technical correctness and the first regular technical inspection is postponed until the expiry of a period of two years from the first registration. Amendments to this law also introduce tougher penalties for speeding outside the populated area.

The government at today’s session also adopted the Conclusion instructing ministries and special organisations to consistently carry out the government’s policy on abolishing the obligatory use of seals for companies, entrepreneurs and other legal entities.
