Out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes
Consumer disputes can be resolved through out-of-court settlements of consumer disputes. As a trader, we are obliged to inform you that we are obliged by law to participate in this procedure. Out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes is performed in a transparent, efficient, fast, and fair manner before the body for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes. The Ministry compiles a list of bodies and publishes it publicly. It is available at: https://mtt.gov.rs/tekst/2306/zastita-potrosaca.php
Proceedings before the body can be initiated by the consumer only if he has previously stated a complaint or objection to the trader. Within one year from the day of (unsuccessful) filing of the complaint, the consumer loses the right to submit a proposal for out-of-court settlement of the dispute.
Out-of-court settlement of a consumer dispute may take a maximum of 90 days from the date of submission of the proposal.
Out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes does not apply, among other things:
Each party in the procedure of out-of-court settlement of a consumer dispute pays its own costs (representation costs, travel costs, etc.). The work of the body for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes is free of charge for the parties in the procedure of out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes.
