Summary/Abstract: It was only during the rule of Milos Obrenovic that geodetic activities began to develop in Serbia. Detailed measuring was initiated in 1889, the first regulation on land cadastre was adopted in 1928, and about 65% of the land in Serbia was measured by 1941. In the post-war period little was done in relation to cadastre, while much attention w'as paid to the restructuring of the geodetic service. This is the reason why the current cadastral survey is neither update nor accurate. First ideas concerning a unified data base appeared in 1918, but they were not accepted. A similar initiative was rejected again in 1945. There are two reasons for the reappearing of the proposal for unified data: the first lies in a tendency to subsume the decision-making process concerning immovable real rights under the mantle of a body which is influenced even more easily than the court, while the other lies in the interest of the Republic's Geodetic Institute to cover up the fact that the job, which had been paid for, was not completed. The abandoning of the land register was wrongly explained by saying that due to such a system land cadastre was not updated, while, in fact, it was due to land cadastre that land registers were not updated. The situation became even worse when the regulation on unified data was amended in 1992, resulting in centralizing all geodetic activities in one institute. The unified data volume achieved so far is intolerably small, which proves the unsuitability of the system. Inadequate regulations and a lack of leadership have made the geodetic development in Serbia lag well behind internationally recognized tendencies. It is thus necessary to reaffirm both the land cadastre and land register through new legislation, and to restructure the Republic's Geodetic Institute. Geodetic activities in Serbia should be primarily aimed at developing a comprehensive information system on space.
