Serbia

Serbia had planned to release all areas contaminated with cluster munition remnants (CMR) by the end of 2025 (excluding possible contamination at military sites), and came close to achieving this goal with only 25,570m² still remaining. Serbia expected to complete clearance of all known CMR contamination in civilian areas by the end of 2026, and has the funding and resources to meet this target. Serbia’s mine action programme also strengthened its information management (IM) capacity in 2025 and started a non-technical survey (NTS) project to address the remaining explosive ordnance contamination in Bujanovac municipality, including from anti-personnel (AP) mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW).

• Serbia should accede to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) as a matter of priority.
• Serbia should complete clearance of CMR on territory under its jurisdiction or control as soon as possible.
• SMAC should also prioritise survey of military areas where CMR are suspected.
