What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 49 permits, without the author's authorization or payment of remuneration, reproducing and other forms of publicly communicating short excerpts of a copyrighted work, or individual short works, provided the work quoted has been published and the excerpt is integrated unaltered into another work where necessary for illustration, confirmation or reference, clearly marked as a quotation in accordance with good practice.
The author's name, the title of the quoted work, and where and when it was published or issued must also be indicated where known. The article carries no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from this good-practice test, and no reported Serbian decision applies it to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual quoting a published work. The Act commences the eighth day after publication in the Official Gazette, a formula the reviewed source does not resolve to a calendar date.
