The Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia achieved a significant milestone within the framework of the international Cospas-Sarsat Programme when Mr. Nikola Sarancic, Head of the Rescue Coordination Centre of the Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia and Chair of the ICAO EUR Search and Rescue Task Force (EUR SAR TF), presided over the 40th Meeting of the Joint Committee (JC-40) of the International Cospas-Sarsat Programme.

The meeting brought together representatives of the Programme’s founding states and member countries (45 participating states), representatives of international aviation organizations, aircraft manufacturers, and experts in the field of search and rescue.
This achievement represents a notable international success for the Republic of Serbia, as it marks the first time that the Chair of the Joint Committee—the principal annual meeting of the Cospas-Sarsat Programme—has been held by a representative from a country other than one of the Programme’s four founding states: the United States of America, the Russian Federation, Canada, and France.

The Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia will continue to actively contribute to the enhancement of international cooperation in the field of search and rescue, with the aim of improving aviation safety and strengthening the effectiveness of global search and rescue systems.
With regard to media reports concerning amendments to the regulatory framework in the field of civil aviation, the Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia wishes to emphasize that no air carrier has been denied the right to operate flights between the Republic of Serbia and the Member States of the European Union, nor the right to launch new routes in accordance with the applicable international agreements.
The Civil Aviation Directorate of the Republic of Serbia performs its responsibilities in a professional, impartial and non-discriminatory manner, in full compliance with national and international regulations, while ensuring respect for the principles of equal treatment and fair competition.
It is important that the public be accurately informed that the regulatory amendments in question do not constitute a restriction of traffic rights, but rather an adjustment of the regulatory framework, which is applied equally to all air carriers operating in the market of the Republic of Serbia.
The Directorate will continue to act in a transparent and responsible manner, in the interest of the safe, stable and competitive development of civil aviation in the Republic of Serbia.
