Serbia

State with nuclear-free security policy

Serbia did not participate in the TPNW negotiations in 2017 and has not adhered to the Treaty. It has consistently abstained on the UN General Assembly resolutions on the TPNW in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Serbia maintains policies and practices that are compliant with all of the prohibitions in Article 1 of the Treaty, and can therefore sign and ratify it without making changes to existing practices or policies.
