Reports (3)
- Status is not correct "Discrimination in employment on the basis of gender identity is also illegal in Serbia http://rainbow-europe.org/#8658/0/0"
- Status is not correct "prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation in employment is forbidden since 2005 (new labour law). The 2009 is a general anti-discrimination act, in which also gender identity is mentioned as a ground upon which one cannot discriminate. However, there is uncertainty within the interpretation of the law when it comes to its protection of gender identity. Some argue it is covered by the law, whilst others argue otherwise. "
- Status is not correct "discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity are not legal in Serbia. Both grounds and not only SO"
