What are the authorities that supervise the transport activities in Serbia?

 
There are four main regulatory bodies in Serbia governing the transportation activities in this state, as follows:
 
  • the Port Governance Agency which was established in 2013;
  • the Road Traffic Safety Agency that commenced the activities in 2010;
  • the Authority for Transportation of Dangerous Goods that was created in 2013;
  • the authority for Determination of Seaworthiness which was opened in 2010.
 
The above-mentioned authorities in Serbia supervise the transportation activities of local and foreign companies dealing with import and export operations, and the ways in which they respect the applicable legislation. Besides that, the same bodies need to improve the transit transport and to diminish the negative effects on the environment in Serbia
 

Synchronizing the local legislation with the EU directives

 
Even if Serbia is not an EU member, the authorities are in complete process of harmonizing the existing legislation with the ones imposed by the European Union. Several laws are ruling the transportation sector in Serbia and its main fields: railways and intermodal transport, air transport, inland waterborne transport and safety of navigation, plus the road traffic safety. Investors from abroad are welcomed to Serbia to sustain the country’s infrastructure projects aiming to develop the intermodal transportation among many others.
