Government adopts Bill on Official Statistics

Belgrade, 13 November 2025

The Government of the Republic of Serbia adopted the Bill on Official Statistics at its today’s session, in order to provide the necessary legal framework for the development of an efficient, professionally independent and sustainable statistical system.

Official statistics are a key element of the state’s information system in all modern societies, because, respecting the principle of professional independence, they provide users, i.e., state bodies, business entities and the public, with impartial and high-quality data on economic, demographic, social and environmental protection occurences.

Statistics are expected to be a transparent, efficient, professionally independent system, which is needed by citizens, business entities and other users.

Statistics should provide objective data on society and economic developments in the country, as well as high-quality and timely data to the government, ministries, bodies of autonomous provinces and bodies of local self-government units, so that they can perform their functions efficiently and effectively, and their decisions are based on reliable data.

By adopting these legal solutions, the field of official statistics is harmonized with European regulations, namely the European Statistical System, thereby contributing to the country’s European integration.

Members of the government adopted the Decree on Establishing the Programme for Stimulating the Development of Processing Capacities in the Field of Wine Production in 2025, with the aim of specifically encouraging investments in the expansion of production capacities of small and medium-sized enterprises and entrepreneurs in wine production, as a promising and export-oriented activity in which there is significant untapped potential.

The grants for 2025 under this program amount to RSD 150 million and are intended for entrepreneurs, micro, small and medium-sized companies or cooperatives registered with the Business Registers Agency and entered in the Wine Register.

This support will contribute to strengthening competitiveness and exports, as well as increasing employment, product range and production volume.

A number of other decisions and conclusions necessary for the work of state institutions were also adopted at the session.
