Summary/Abstract: One of the main goals of Serbia is accession to EU membership, and one of the conditions is harmonization with the acquis communitaire. In this paper, the authors will try to explain in which direction the field of competition has been moving, since the Treaty of Rome to present day. Since the nineties the entire economy of Serbia was under state monopoly, the main obstacle to legal harmonization is the fact that the market position significantly changed. Because of the scope of the topic, the research will focus on antimonopoly policy within the competition law. The authors will give an overview of the newly adopted 2009. Law on Protection of Competition. In the process of harmonizing national legislation with the European Union in the period 2001-2010., in Serbia were formed almost all independent regulatory body, including the Competition Commission which was established by law in 2005. Before the establishment of the Commission the issue of protection of competition under the antitrust law was in force since 1996. to 2005. and it was handled only by Department for antitrust activities of the Ministry of Trade, Tourism and Services, with no visible results in the field.
