Domestic Violence in Serbia: Legal Protection
Domestic violence remains a serious issue in Serbia, and the country has implemented strict laws to protect victims, including foreign nationals. The Law on the Prevention of Domestic Violence (“Zakon o sprečavanju nasilja u porodici”) offers comprehensive protections, covering physical, psychological, economic, and sexual abuse.
Legal Protections for Victims
Foreigners in Serbia are entitled to the same legal protections as Serbian citizens. The law enables immediate emergency measures such as restraining orders, removal of the abuser from the home, and financial support. Victims can seek help from the police, social services, and the judiciary, all of which work together to ensure swift action.
