Despite their right to permanent residence under the Asylum Act,[1] recognised refugees are not issued a separate document of residence, as they are considered ipso facto to be entitled to reside in the country.
The right to reside in the Republic of Serbia shall be approved under a decision on granting refugee status or subsidiary protection, and shall be proved by an identity card for persons who have been granted the right to asylum.[2]
All ID cards were automatically extended during the state of emergency, and in line Decision on the Status of Foreign Nationals.[3]
