Recommendation
Increase efforts leading to the adoption of a law on unions between same-sex couples, thus guaranteeing the recognition of sexual and gender diversity.
Explanation
Noted. The same-sex partnerships have not been legally regulated in the Republic of Serbia, and such legal regulation would imply the systemic resolving of a completely new legal institute, which by all means requires time and serious, systematic and analytical approach. Bearing in mind the new character of this institute and its contents, in respect of which there is no unified practice or standards on the international level, in respect of which the comparative legal solutions are significantly differing, it will be necessary to achieve a broad social consensus with various social subjects in respect of that issue. In addition to that, it is necessary to seriously analyse the effects of such regulations in other spheres of the law and other legal regulations, as well as the scope of their harmonisation, which, taken all together, requires certain time to be done.
