products with protected geographical indication of origin in Serbia

Serbia is rich in products that are characterized by authenticity and tradition.

It is for these reasons that the geographical indication protection system has been developed. Highlighted on the packaging they give exclusivity to the product and guarantee controlled and special quality of the product resulting from the value of its composition, production method or specificity of the territory of origin.

Geographical indications with which agricultural and food products are labelled in order to indicate their link with the place of production are: Protected designation of origin and Protected geographical indication.

The authorised users of the above-mentioned indications have the exclusive right to put control stamps on their product with an indication: “Controlled designation of origin”, i.e. “Controlled geographical indication”.
