Serbia

National jurisdiction · as of 2026-09-06

Serbia has no adult-content age-verification statute, social-media minor-access restriction, or app-store age-verification requirement confirmed in the primary text reviewed.

The Law on Electronic Media, Official Gazette RS No. 92/2023 and 51/2025, binds every media service provider to a general duty of protecting minors from content harmful to their physical, mental or moral development, and adds a video-sharing platform provider to appropriate measures against the same harm, sourced from the platform's own user-generated content. No separate adult-content age-verification bill was located in the sources reached during this visit.

Instruments on record

Law on Electronic Media, Protection of Minors and Video-Sharing Platform Obligations

In force

Zakon o elektronskim medijima (Law on Electronic Media), Official Gazette RS No. 92/2023 and 51/2025, Arts. 64, 115-116, 125

Applies to both

Article 64 requires every media service provider to take all measures necessary so that its program content does not harm the physical, mental or moral development of minors, and to act in a minor's best interest when timing or otherwise publishing content that could cause that harm.

Article 115 additionally requires a video-sharing platform provider to take appropriate measures to protect minors from program content, user-generated video content, or audiovisual commercial communications that could harm that development. Article 116 lets the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Media specify those measures further, having regard to the nature and potential harm of the content and the categories of persons to protect.

A legal-entity provider that fails to comply with either duty is liable to a fine of 500,000 to 2,000,000 dinars. The law commences the eighth day after publication in the Official Gazette, a formula the reviewed source does not resolve to a calendar date.
