🇪🇺 OFFICIAL: MANDATORY TITER TEST ABOLISHED FOR DOGS TRAVELING FROM SERBIA TO THE EU
As of April 22, 2026, the health certificate for non-commercial movement of dogs into European Union countries no longer requires the FAVN (titer) test. On the same day, the Veterinary Directorate of the Republic of Serbia officially received the European Commission regulation amending the certificate form and abolishing this long-standing obligation.
📅 How did this decision come about?
After years of Serbia’s efforts, persistent evidence gathering on the absence of rabies, and technical confirmation by the European Commission, at the meeting of the PAFF Committee – Section for Controls and Import Conditions held on April 22, 2026 in Brussels, a historic decision was made.
Key agenda points – B.03 and B.04 – referred specifically to amendments of Annex II and Annex VIII, by which the Republic of Serbia (together with Montenegro) is included on the list of third countries with simplified procedures. This grants Serbia a status equal to that of EU member
