In Serbia, femicide isn’t defined as a criminal act all on its own, so the courts don’t keep any statistics on it. More than half of the femicide cases analyzed were not qualified as first degree murder and therefore more lenient sentences were given out.

The number and structure of femicides in Serbia, as well as policies on sentences, is available in the Infographic made by prEUgovor which is based on data supplied by the Autonomous Women’s Center and the Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia.
