TL;DR. Serbia’s official business registry is the Serbian Business Registers Agency (APR). The live GET is the APR home at https://www.apr.gov.rs / https://apr.gov.rs: HTTP 200, title Агенција за привредне регистре | Почетна (~238KB). Nav Претраге links to https://pretraga.apr.gov.rs. Претрага привредних друштава links to https://pretraga.apr.gov.rs/search. The home CMS search is keyword field Унесите кључну реч… (not a company-number form). Instant download and RSD tariff amounts were not on that home HTML. priceMax 0 means Unknown, not verified free.
What is the official Serbia business registry?
APR (Агенција за привредне регистре) is Serbia’s central registry authority. The live home (HTTP 200, title Агенција за привредне регистре | Почетна) lists registers including Привредна друштва, Предузетници, Финансијски извештаји, and Централна евиденција стварних власника. Search UIs sit on separate hosts linked from that home. This check retrieved the home HTML. It did not retrieve a completed search-form GET from pretraga.apr.gov.rs (TLS local-issuer fail on HTTPS; HTTP timeout). That search-host miss is not a claim that APR is down.
What can you search?
Observed on the live home, not as a filled search form:
- Nav Претраге to https://pretraga.apr.gov.rs
- Претрага привредних друштава to https://pretraga.apr.gov.rs/search
- Other register searches (entrepreneurs, names, tourism, chambers) also point at pretraga.apr.gov.rs paths
- Site search form
searchFormGET to/почетна.1669.html, field search, placeholder Унесите кључну реч… (CMS keyword search)
Result columns, MB / PIB field labels, Instant download, and a working UBO search form were not on the home HTML. Do not restate historical field lists as a live UI.

- Накнаде links are not a live tariff table. Amounts were not on the home HTML.
- FATF / MONEYVAL status is not on the home. Check fatf-gafi.org.
Other sources besides the APR home
