Spearfishing with harpoon, spear or speargun is prohibited on all fishing waters nationwide under Article 22(1)(3) of the Law on Protection and Sustainable Use of Fish Stocks. The country is landlocked, so only freshwater bodies (rivers such as the Danube, Sava, Tisa, Morava; lakes and reservoirs) exist, and the ban applies to all of them.
