Can you bring a drone to Serbia?

• Drones

  depends on specifics

  Quoted directly from Customs: whether a permit is needed to import/export a drone "depends on whether it, in terms of its technical characteristics, meets the conditions prescribed in the National Control List of Dual Use Items and the National Control List of Weapons and Military Equipment." The permit, if needed, is issued by the Ministry of Internal and Foreign Trade. A list of UAV models exempt from the permit requirement exists in the Ministry's own "Instructions for the identification of UAV" document, which wasn't read in this pass.

  This is a customs/export-control classification, not a flight-registration rule — it governs whether your specific drone model can cross the border with or without a permit, based on its technical specifications, not where or how you fly it once in Serbia. If your drone isn't clearly on the exempt list, Customs says to contact the Ministry directly for a classification opinion before travel.
