The Securities Commission of the Republic of Serbia has become a signatory to the international Administrative arrangement for the transfer of personal data between EEA Authorities and Non-EEA Authorities.

The Administrative Arrangement represents a cooperation mechanism enabling the lawful and secure transfer of personal data between competent authorities, in accordance with the data protection standards applied within the European Union.

The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has launched a new global investor alert portal – the International Securities & Commodities Alerts Network (I-SCAN) – with the aim of strengthening investor protection and more effectively combating investment fraud.

I-SCAN is a centralized platform through which investors, banks and other interested stakeholders can verify whether a warning has been issued by a financial regulator in any jurisdiction in relation to a particular entity or investment offering. The platform consolidates information on entities identified as providing investment services without authorization or as being associated with suspicious activities.

The latest Evaluation Report on the Republic of Serbia, adopted by the Council of Europe body MONEYVAL, confirms that Serbia has made significant progress in developing its system to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, while offering further recommendations to strengthen supervision and make more effective use of financial intelligence.

The report is the result of the sixth round of evaluation, which lasted 20 months beginning in May 2024, and represents a comprehensive assessment of the national system’s compliance with international standards in the fields of money laundering prevention, terrorist financing, and proliferation.
