Labor law in Serbia governs the relationship between employees and employers, including contracts, pay, working time, leave, dismissal and workplace safety. Immigration law covers entry, residence, work, study and settlement by foreigners, together with visas, permits and registration duties. Criminal law defines offences and regulates investigations, prosecution, trials, defence and penalties. Consumer protection applies to purchases and services and covers product safety, information, complaints and fair treatment. Civil law handles private disputes involving contracts, property, damage claims, settlements, court proceedings and enforcement. A disagreement about unpaid wages usually belongs to labor law, while a claim for damage between private parties usually belongs to civil law; conduct suspected to be an offence may also involve criminal law. The appropriate authority may be a court, police body, public prosecutor, administrative authority, inspection or consumer-protection channel, depending on the problem. A lawyer can assess overlapping issues and preserve procedural rights. Serbia also has a free legal aid system under which an applicant requests approval from the competent municipal or city administration and, after approval, receives help from a registered provider.
