Government forms negotiating team for 'Roam Like at Home' regime
The Serbian government says that at its June 25 session it adopted a decision to form a negotiating team for talks with the European Commission on including Serbia in the EU's 'Roam Like at Home' regime. The statement says this should enable coordinated negotiations and alignment of Serbia's regulatory framework with the EU acquis in roaming. The government emphasizes the practical effect for citizens and businesses: more favorable mobile-service use while staying in EU countries, as well as Serbia's integration into the single European digital market.
Government sets up team for talks on the European roaming regime
Danas carries the government statement and specifies that the decision creates conditions for talks with the European Commission and further alignment of domestic regulation with EU law in electronic communications. The outlet also notes another part of the same cabinet session: adoption of the negotiating basis for an agreement creating the World Organization for Cooperation in Artificial Intelligence, in which Serbia is to become one of the founding members.
Overall takeaway
The checked sources confirm only the start of a negotiating framework: Serbia has formed a team and must align rules with the EU, but no start date for Roam Like at Home for subscribers has been announced.
What this means for residents
For EU travel
For now this does not change current roaming bills: until there is an agreement and operator rules, travellers should still check tariffs as usual.
For businesses
The government links the future regime with more favorable mobile services and Serbia's integration into the EU single digital market.
