Cats in Serbia: rules and travel
Pets must be marked and registered under the veterinary law, and local governments set rules for pets in public places. Dogs classed as dangerous need a muzzle and lead in public. Pets entering Serbia need a microchip, a rabies vaccination and a passport.
Local governments set many rules for pets in public places and shared building areas, so check the city or municipality.
Registration and microchip
Pets, which includes cats, must be marked and registered under the veterinary law (Art. 55).[1]
Keeping rules
Owners must prevent unwanted litters, for example by contraception or neutering (Art. 55(3)). Local governments run programmes to control stray cats and dogs (Art. 54).[1]
Travelling to Serbia with a cat
The official Welcome to Serbia page lists the same four conditions for pets from countries on its Annex 1 list: a microchip, a rabies vaccination (21 days must pass after a first vaccination), measures against other diseases, and a passport filled in by an authorised vet.[2]
The official page lists the same four conditions for other countries (Annex 2): microchip, rabies vaccination, other disease measures and a passport. A US health certificate template for Serbia also exists, so a government health certificate may be needed.[2]
