Death in Serbia

In case you are ever faced with the death of a fellow American connected with you (employee, relative, friend) while in Serbia, the Consular Section can provide information about the laws and procedures that apply in Serbia. The Consular Section will assist as much as possible with notification of the next-of-kin in the U.S., arrangements for preparation of the remains and their shipment to the U.S., transferring the funds for this purpose from the U.S. to Serbia, providing the necessary documents to accompany the remains, and issuing the consular official death certificate (Form OF-180: Report of the Death of an American Citizen Abroad).

Please try to notify the Embassy of a death immediately. Regardless of the time of day there is always an Embassy officer on emergency duty who can be reached at cell phone number 381-65-368-1380.
