Drone Laws in Serbia

Serbia Drone Regulations

According to Serbia’s national aviation authority, Serbia’s Civilian Aviation Directorate (CAD), flying a drone is legal in Serbia, but we recommend being aware of and compliant with the drone regulations listed below before doing so.

Special Travel Considerations

If you’re traveling to Serbia and want to bring your drone, the CAD lists these special considerations for foreigners who want to fly drones:

• Before entering Serbia with a drone as a foreigner you must first obtain the consent of the Serbian Ministry of Defense.
• All drones must be registered with the Serbian government.
• Each flight of a drone requires permission from the CAD. Processing flight requests can take up to five business days.

If you’d like to contact the CAD directly before you travel with any questions you might have, here is their contact information: dgca@cad.gov.rs / +381 11 292 71 69

We are not international aviation attorneys and do our best to keep this page up-to-date for drone pilots, but the reality is that given the pace of the small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) industry and how governments are responding, drone regulations in Serbia can change throughout the year, and those changes can be hard to track. If we missed something, please reach out to let us know.
