About Central Records

The Central Register of Integrated Procedures began operating within the Serbian Business Registers Agency on 1 January 2016.

The Central Register of Integrated Procedures is the first centralized, public, electronic database, with integrated data on the progress of each individual case, the documents filed with and obtained from the competent authorities in the procedure of applying for permits for the construction, extension and reconstruction of facilities, including decisions and other acts of the authorities generated in the procedure.

The software required for the operation of the Central Register of Integrated Procedures has been developed as part of the project “Development of the System for Electronic Issuance of Construction Permits in the Region of South East Europe”, implemented within the GIZ – Open Regional Fund for South East Europe - Modernization of Municipal Services, funded by the Governments of Germany and Switzerland. The implementing partner is the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED), and other partners on the project are the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure of the Republic of Serbia, the Association of Local Self-Government Units of the Republic of North Macedonia (ZELS) etc.

The integrated procedure is a group of procedures and activities carried out by the competent service in connection with the construction, extension or reconstruction of facilities, i.e., execution of works, including: issuance of location requirements, construction permit, decisions foreseen under Article 145 of the Law on Planning and Construction, notice of the commencement of works, notice of completion of construction works on the foundations and notice of completion of the construction of the facilities, issuance of occupancy/use permit, securing connection to infrastructural networks, registration of ownership of the facilities, amendments to the acts obtained in the procedure, obtaining requirements for the designing of and connection to infrastructural networks, obtaining approvals for technical documentation, as well as obtaining legal and other documents issued by the public authorities that are required for the issuance of location requirements, construction and use permits.

The integrated procedure, as a new procedure enabling a more efficient process for issuing permits and approvals required in the procedure of construction, extension and reconstruction of facilities, is foreseen by the Law on Amendments to the Law on Planning and Construction (Official Gazette of the RS, No. 132/2014) and became applicable on 1 March 2015.

As of 1 January 2016, all applications in the integrated procedure are filed in electronic format only, through the Central Information System of the Serbian Business Registers Agency.
