Critical review – The right to asylum in the Republic of Serbia

VP Law Firm in the previous period was engaged in the preparation of a legal opinion on the possibility of persons who have been granted the right to asylum in the Republic of Serbia acquiring the citizenship of the Republic of Serbia, as well as regarding the possibility of the mentioned category of persons to travel outside the borders of the Republic of Serbia.

Although at first glance it seemed that this category of persons would be able to realize both of the aforementioned possibilities, since thore are the right to freedom of movement and the right to full naturalization in the country of refuge, the research led us to the conclusion that these rights in the Republic of Serbia are not available, even though they are recognized in general, due to the vagueness of legal and sub-legal regulations.

The above inspired us to draw wider public attention to this topic, and you can see a detailed overview of the above-mentioned issues at the link: https://lawlife.rs/index.php/pravo/499-pravo-na-utociste-u-republici-srbiji-sloboda-koja-poznaje-granice, where for the Law Life portal, our Attorney at Law Jelena Plamenac pointed out the necessary changes in this area through the analysis of the regulations.
