A negative PCR test will be required to enter Serbia

Belgrade, 8 May 2020

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic confirmed that a decision has been adopted today that the citizens of Serbia will need a negative PCR test, not older than 72 hours, in order to enter Serbia and in the absence of such a test, they will have to be quarantined for 14 days.

In a statement for Television Pink, Brnabic said that citizens can leave Serbia, and that requirements for entry into other countries depend on the country to which they travel.

She added that the procedure for entry of foreigners to Serbia has been liberalised, which is important because of the economy and foreign students, who will also need to provide a PCR test showing that they are negative for COVID-19, not older than 72 hours. She added that their movement will be limited to some extent, in accordance with needs.

The Prime Minister underlined that personal responsibility of citizens continues to be the most important because strict restrictive measures have been abolished.

She stated that a slight jump in the number of newly infected people with coronavirus has been recorded today compared to yesterday, but more testing has been done too and the percentage of those that tested positive against the total number of tests is approximately 1.6.

That is not worrying as today we have had the greatest decrease in the number of active cases.
The situation is under control. We lifted the state of emergency only once we were completely sure that the situation is under control, but citizens need to be aware that this is a new reality until vaccine is discovered, the Prime Minister added.

Brnabic underlined that now everything boils down to personal responsibility and urged citizens to take precautions, use masks, gloves, wash their hands, hold distance and respect the ban on large gatherings.
