In the event of a traffic accident, the Traffic Police should be called on telephone number 92. Foreign registered vehicles must obtain a Vehicle Damage Certificate (Potvrda o oštećenju vozila) from the police which must be shown at the border when leaving Serbia.

The Help-Info service (Služba "Pomoć-informacije") (tel: 987) operated by the Automobile and Motorcycle Association of Serbia is available for transport of damaged vehicles.

In the event that the owner intends to abandon a damaged foreign-registered vehicle, this must be reported to Customs or to a local branch of the AMSS, who will conduct further proceedings. In both events, a Vehicle Surrender Certificate (Potvrda o predaji vozila) must be obtained in order for formalities to be conducted more quickly in the country in which the vehicle is registered.

A foreign traveller entering Serbia in a vehicle with damaged bodywork must apply to the relevant authority at the border in order for the damage to the assessed and a certificate issued in confirmation of this.
