The Guide "My Rights in Enforcement Proceedings" is intended for male and female citizens to become acquainted with their rights and obligations, whether the enforcement proceedings were instigated against them or whether they were forced to instigate them themselves. The Guide is also intended for those who are not parties to the proceedings (neither the creditor nor the debtor), who are impeded by the proceedings in the enjoyment of their rights, or who have a certain legal interest (the so-called third parties). Of course, it is also intended for those who just want to get acquainted with the execution process. This guide does not replace the legal advice that you can get from qualified professionals, it only provides basic information about the enforcement process, so that one could better understand it.

It is important that all parties involved in the proceedings know what their rights and obligations are in order to respond appropriately within the prescribed deadlines and protect their rights. The Guide outlines the basic steps in the execution process in a simple, practical and picturesque way and does not cover all the situations, but only those most commonly encountered by the citizens.  

The Guide was drafted on the basis of the Law on Enforcement and Security ("Official Gazette of the RS", No. 106/2015, 106/2016 – authentic interpretation, 113/2017 – authentic interpretation and 54/2019) and the Law on Amendments to the Law on Enforcement and Security (Official Gazette of the RS, No. 54/2019) effective from January 1, 2020.   For expert advice and specific questions regarding the enforcement process and the implementation of the Law on Enforcement and Security, to fully protect your rights, consult a lawyer or the legal aid office in the municipality.
