To further harmonise the Company Law of Serbia with the Company Law of the European Union, extensive changes were made to the Law on Business Companies from 2011 in June and December 2018 by adopting amendments to the Law on Business Companies from 2018.In accordance with the third revised version of the National Programme for the Adoption of the EU Acquis from March 1, 2018, and the overall effort to carry out the transfer of community institutes into the domestic legal system as efficiently as possible, the amendments to the Law on Business Companies from 2021 provide for entry coming into effect on January 1, 2025. These norms will (in addition to the existing options for founding a partnership, limited partnership, a limited liability company, and a joint stock company) create for the first time the possibility of establishing community legal forms of business companies in Serbia. Bearing in mind the importance of the aforementioned amendments, the author analyses the specifics and legal position of the European joint-stock company (Societas Europea), primarily from the aspect of implementing supranational forms of economic organisation in the domestic Law on Companies.
