Belgrade, 20 May 2021

The Serbian government adopted today the Decree on establishing the Programme of support to work of night bars and night clubs due to business difficulties occasioned by the COVID-19 epidemic caused by SARS-CоV-2 virus.

Bearing in mind that the work of night bars and night clubs has been limited since the onset of the epidemic, another form of sectoral aid has been proposed with the aim of mitigating economic consequences.

The government proposed the payment of a non-repayable assistance to night bars and night clubs, which suffered a drop in turnover of over 70 percent. The amount of the assistance will be determined by the government in a special act.

A public call for applications for establishing the right to the assistance will be published on the official Internet page of the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications www.mtt.gov.rs, and the deadline for application is 15 days from the day of its publication.
