Serbia: Employers with more than 10 employees must adopt an internal “whistleblower act”

The relevant internal act must contain the applicable internal procedures to be followed in case of whistleblowing, i.e. the rules on how information should be delivered to the employer; how an employer should act upon the receipt of such information; and the measures that the employer must undertake in order to (i) determine and eliminate the irregularities disclosed by such information, and (ii) protect the whistleblower from any adversity that could arise as a reaction to the whistleblowing involved.

The Whistleblower Law requires all employers with more than 10 employees to adopt, by 4 December 2015, an internal act to regulate internal procedures with respect to whistleblowing and to publish such act on the company’s bulletin board and web page.

Any company that fails to comply with these new rules may be fined by up to RSD 500,000 (approx. EUR 4,200), with the possibility of a fine of up to RSD 100,000 (approx. EUR 830) being imposed on the company’s official representative.
