Summary

FATF published its 2025 Mutual Evaluation Report assessing Serbia's Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing/Proliferation (AML/CFT/CPF) framework. The report evaluates Serbia's compliance with FATF Recommendations and the effectiveness of its AML/CFT/CPF measures across 40 recommendations.

What changed

The FATF Mutual Evaluation Report for Serbia provides a comprehensive assessment of the country's AML/CFT/CPF regime as of 2025. The report evaluates all 40 FATF Recommendations and assigns ratings on compliance and effectiveness. Key areas assessed include risk assessment, preventive measures, reporting obligations, law enforcement cooperation, and legal framework adequacy.

Serbian financial institutions, designated non-financial businesses and professions, and supervisory authorities should review the evaluation findings to identify gaps in their AML/CFT frameworks. The report's detailed assessment identifies specific areas where Serbia's measures are effective, partially effective, or require improvement. Compliance teams should monitor for any follow-up action plans issued by Serbian authorities based on these findings.

What to do next

  1. Review FATF MER findings to identify gaps in AML/CFT/CPF compliance
  2. Assess current controls against FATF Recommendations rated as non-compliant or partially compliant
  3. Update risk-based AML/CFT frameworks to address identified deficiencies
