The Agency for Business Registers (APR) has published information that the new Rulebook on the contents of the Register of Business Entities and the documentation required for registration has entered into force.
The reason for the adoption of the new Rulebook is the harmonization of the secondary legislation with the laws that more closely determine the registration procedure in the Agency for Business Registers, and in connection with the introduction of mandatory electronic registration of business companies and the specification of documentation required for records.
Some of the most important changes are that from now on the personal name and the unique identity number of the citizen, which are proven by a photocopy of the identity card, or a qualified electronic certificate for an electronic signature, are used as data on the domestic natural person who is being registered.
“The information about the foreigner that is registered is the personal name, passport number and country of issue, i.e. the record number for the foreigner, the number of the foreigner’s identity card and the country of issue in accordance with the regulations governing the conditions for the entry, movement and stay of foreigners in the territory of the Republic of Serbia, which are proven by a photocopy of a passport, i.e. a foreigner’s identity card or a foreign identity card, i.e. a qualified electronic certificate for an electronic signature issued in accordance with the regulations of the Republic of Serbia”, according to the APR.
In the new Rulebook, an amendment related to the registration of the partnership was introduced. In addition to the already prescribed conditions, such as the contract on the establishment of the company with certified signatures of the members, a document on their identity and the decision on the appointment of a representative, the novelty refers to the fact that the bank’s confirmation of the payment of the monetary deposit is necessary, that is, the agreement of the members on the assessment of the value of the non-monetary deposit or assessment of the value of the non-monetary contribution, as well as the statement of the members of the company that the non-monetary contribution has been entered into the company, if the contribution is paid, i.e. entered into the company.
Also, the novelty is that a member’s statement that he has accepted the obligation towards the company is necessary, if this obligation is not assumed by the founding act or other evidence that he has accepted the obligation.
