Serbia’s Draft Law on Official Controls introduces stricter inspection procedures for food producers, importers, distributors, and retailers, with a focus on risk-based assessments, unannounced inspections, and greater transparency. The proposed measures include public disclosure and ranking of businesses based on inspection results, stricter enforcement powers, and higher penalties for noncompliance. Companies should monitor the legislative process and prepare to align their operations, documentation, and internal procedures with the new requirements.
