On 21 January 2025, the Serbian Commission for Protection of
Competition submitted draft proposals to the Government for four
new regulations concerning the exemption of certain categories of
agreements from the prohibition of restrictive agreements. The
drafts were finalised following a public consultation and
subsequent legal and technical revisions, which took place after
their initial publication in July 2024.
The package includes an updated draft of the Vertical Block
Exemption Regulation ("VBER"), along with new regulations
addressing vertical agreements in the motor vehicle sector,
agreements in the railway and road transport sectors, as well as
technology transfer agreements.
