Pozitivni propisi za arhivsku delatnost u Republici Srbiji
Positive regulations for archival work in the Republic of Serbia

Summary/Abstract: History of legislative activity in Serbia reaches the end of the 19th century, more exactly 1898, when the first State Archives Law was adopted and went into effect on January 1, 1900. Since then, until 1948, archival legislation in Serbia shared the destiny of archival legislation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The approach to the comprehension of the problem of archivistics in Serbia was more serious since 1948. Based on the order of the Government of the Federative National Republic of Yugoslavia, through the Ministry of Education of the National Republic of Serbia, archival centers were established. Since then, the legislative activity takes form that is more serious. Decentralization in this field, carried out in 1963, brought to passing the series of law and by-law acts that had regulated archive work in details. Nowadays, there are 23 legal acts in use in the Republic of Serbia, in the form of law or by-law acts that regulate the field of archivistics. It is complemented by 27 documents, mostly in the form of Instruction, by the Archives Council of Serbia, which give the frame of legal form to the field of archivistics. There is no special Law that exclusively regulates archives and archival work in the Republic of Serbia nowadays. The draft of the Law of archives and archival service was made long ago and its passing has been expecting since 2009. After this new Law becomes effective, we reasonably expect archival service in the Republic of Serbia to fulfill the emptiness in this field.
