Tim za socijalno uključivanje i smanjenje siromaštva

The Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) between Serbia and the EU entered into force on 1 September 2013. Its implementation will be one of the criteria in monitoring the progress of Serbia in negotiations for EU membership.

By entry into force of the SAA, Serbia gained the status of the state associated with the EU, which is the closest link with the EU that a non-member country may achieve.

Entry into force of the SAA will bring about some changes, such as the phase liberalization of access to public procurement procedures of the two parties and access to real estate markets, while there will be no new commitments in the area of trade. Another change is the protection against discrimination in business operations of companies and legally employed citizens.
