Serbia

Europe · Southern Europe

Serbia is a landlocked country with no sea coast, so all fishing is freshwater (rivers, lakes, reservoirs). Spearfishing / underwater fishing is explicitly prohibited. The Law on Protection and Sustainable Use of Fish Stocks (Official Gazette RS No. 128/2014 and 95/2018), in Article 22(1)(3), bans catching fish with harpoons (harpun), spears (osti), underwater guns / spearguns (podvodna puška), explosives and other prohibited means. Recreational fishing is legally defined (Article 2, point 21) as a non-commercial activity using only rod-and-line tackle and auxiliary net tools. There is therefore no legal route to recreational spearfishing in Serbia, and no spearfishing licence exists. A standard recreational fishing permit is required for ordinary angling but does not authorise spearfishing.

    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.

Tutkijan huomiot

Serbia is landlocked (coastline=false); all fishing is freshwater. Spearfishing is unambiguously illegal: Article 22(1)(3) of the Law on Protection and Sustainable Use of Fish Stocks (Sl. glasnik RS 128/2014, 95/2018) lists harpoons (harpun), spears (osti) and underwater guns (podvodna puška) among prohibited catching means, and Article 2(21) restricts recreational fishing to rod-and-line and auxiliary net tools. Verbatim Serbian legal text was retrieved from the Paragraf legal database (paragraf.rs), a long-established Serbian legal publisher carrying consolidated statute text; the official government portals (pravno-informacioni-sistem.rs and government PDFs) host the same law but their pages are JS-rendered or stored as compressed PDFs that could not be text-extracted via automated fetch, so they are listed as corroborating sources. data_confidence=high because the operative prohibition is short, explicit, and consistently reproduced across independent fetches. No marine/coastal data applies. License 'required' set to null because no spearfishing licence exists (the field would be misleading as true/false for an activity that is outright banned).
