THE EU DIGITAL SERVICES ACT: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES FOR BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, SERBIA, AND THE WESTERN BALKANS

Summary/Abstract: The EU Digital Services Act aims to regulate online service provision and curb the misuse of personal data as well as the proliferation of harmful content such as hate speech and disinformation, thereby enhancing overall user safety. Given its complex and multilayered structure, the implementation of this regulation presents a challenge for the EU and its Member States. In addition to outlining the structure of the Act and situating it within the broader context of EU digital policy, the central question of this paper concerns the impact of the Digital Services Act on the legislation of the Western Balkans. Through an analysis of the current legal frameworks in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, the paper identifies key provisions of the regulation from the perspective of potential risks and interests for Western Balkan economies, examines possible local approaches to the division of competences between EU institutions and Member States, and discusses other implementation-related issues.
