Summary/Abstract: Consumer protection in Serbia is a public policy that emerged and took legal shape under the auspices of the European integration process. The 2010 Law on Consumer Protection for the first time introduced consumer protection rules into our legislation based on European law, as part of the process of legal harmonization with the acquis communautaire, but also the obligations previously assumed on the basis of the Stabilization and Association Agreement. Consumer protection policy in Serbia is, therefore, crucially conditioned by the reception of the standards of European consumer protection policy and the rules of European legislation. Given these conditions and the reasons for the legislative initiative, it is not surprising that the 2010 Law was focused on the problems of legal harmonization: a great effort was made in an attempt to implement almost the entire then relevant consumer law of the European Union into the Serbian legal order with a single law. This approach had a decisive influence on the further course of development in terms of the systemic regulation of the legal framework for consumer protection in Serbia, because it defined and probably irreversibly constituted the concept of codification of consumer law, as opposed to the sectoral approach, i.e. the possibility of sectoral regulations taking over relevant norms of the consumer acquis.
