# EU deforestation-free regulation enters into force, Serbian exporters should adapt by the end of 2024 | BDK Advokati

> The EU deforestation-free regulation entered into force on 29 June 2023, and exporters in Serbia have until the end of 2024 to adapt. Serbia has no equivalent legislation, so the rule will affect its market mainly through EU-driven spillover. An EU impact assessment lists Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina among the affected countries.

## Why it matters

Western Balkan exporters that supply EU buyers with covered commodities will need traceability to keep market access. This is a limited direct price driver for global feed commodities.
