The application of the Archival Material and Archival Activity Act starts this February
The Archival Material and Archival Activity Act (“Official Gazette RS”, No. 6/2020), will begin to apply on 2 February 2021. Considering that it applies to all creators and holders of archival and documentary material (hereinafter: the “Creators”), the new regime will affect not only the organization of archives and archival activities, but also companies and entrepreneurs in Serbia, especially the matter of new obligations for these subjects and stricter penal policy.
