Also, the amendments to the Decision on declaring the COVID-19 disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a contagious disease, lifted the ban on entering the Republic of Serbia, as well as epidemiological measures for all categories of domestic and foreign citizens, which means that for entering the Republic of Serbia foreign citizens no longer need a special permit.
