The new Serbian Act on State Aid Control ("SAA")¹ has entered into force. Its implementation, apart from the provisions on organisation of the Commission on State Aid Control ("Commission"), will begin on 1 January 2020.

The SAA significantly modifies the existing system and aims to (i) harmonise the applicable legal framework with the EU acquis, and (ii) align the specifics of the state aid control procedure with the recently adopted General Administrative Procedure Act. Its proponents, i.e. the Serbian government, also hope that the SAA will resolve ambiguities in the practical application of the "old" SAA and that the new SAA will help push forward the EU accession process and the opening of Negotiation Chapter 8 – competition policy.
