Even after five years after adoption of the very strict Law on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) that strictly prohibits the importation, production, or commercial growing of genetically engineered crops, Serbia did not do any amendments of the current law. Law on GMOs does not conform to European Union (EU) regulations or the World Trade Organization (WTO) Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) agreement. In order to become EU and WTO member Serbia needs to amend the current law that would set up a general framework for biotechnology harmonized with EU regulations. It would also create a mechanism for biotech crops and products to be reviewed by the government for consideration to import and cultivation.
