Serbia’s open data portal: Putting public information to work
How Serbia is enabling transparency, reuse, and innovation in open data
Serbia’s national open data portal, data.gov.rs, serves as the central access point for open datasets published by public institutions across the country. Managed by the Office for Information Technology and eGovernment, the portal brings together data from ministries, agencies, and local authorities, making them freely available for anyone to explore, download, and reuse. The goal is to increase transparency, improve public services and create new value through data.
At its core, the portal offers searchable datasets across several themes, including finance, health, education, mobility, and more. Users can filter data by topic, institution or format and access both individual files and regularly updated data sources. Many datasets are provided in machine-readable formats and, where relevant, through APIs, making this data relevant for developers, researchers, and data journalists.
A key feature of the portal is its focus on reuse and community engagement. Beyond publishing data, the platform highlights practical examples of how datasets have been turned into applications, visualisations, and analyses. Registered users can also follow institutions, take part in discussions and suggest improvements, helping to shape how public data is released and maintained. The portal is closely linked to Serbia’s wider digital governance strategy and aligns with European open data standards.
Explore the Serbian open data portal and discover how open data can support better decisions, stronger accountability, and innovative solutions. Get creative and find opportunities to reuse public information in new and meaningful ways.
