Summary/Abstract: In this article the author deals with legal grounds for application of European Union merger control rules in merger control proceedings in Republic of Serbia. The author explains the conditions for possible application of EU merger control rules by Commission for Protection of Competition and courts, and points out that enforcement authorities in Serbia do not have a duty to directly apply EU law. According to the Article 72 of the Stabilization and Association Agreement, they are obliged to properly implement and enforce domestic merger control rules resulting from harmonization with the EU law, which means that it is important to properly interpret such rules, i.e. to interpret them in accordance with the EU law.
