Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the relevant legislation in the field of consumer protection in the European Union and gives a comparative analysis of the legislation of the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina on their path to the European Union. All member states, as well as candidate countries or potential candidates for EU membership, have to introduce into the national legislation the adequate standards of consumer protection regulated by primary and secondary EU legislation. The Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have introduced the specific legislation regulating this area, making it separated from the lex generalis regulations of the Law of Obligations, which indicates the importance of this area and the need for reform of the most important legislation in the field of contractual relations, the Obligations Act from 1978, which must be adapted to new social trends, and regional and universal integration processes and among other important provisions it should improve the standards of consumer rights protection.
