In terms of the Law on Incentives in Agriculture and Rural Development (“Official Gazette of RS”, No. 10/2013, 142/2014, 103/2015 and 101/2016), an agricultural holding is a production unit where a business company, agricultural cooperative, institution or another legal entity, entrepreneur or farmer performs agricultural production.

A family agricultural holding is an agricultural holding where a natural person – a farmer, together with the members of his household (regardless of kinship) performs agricultural production.

A family agricultural holding can be:

commercial family agricultural holding (agricultural holding which is market-oriented and which can exercise the right to incentives under the conditions established by this law)
non-commercial family agricultural holding (agricultural holding that is not market-oriented).

The property of a non-commercial agricultural holding is determined during the registration or renewal of registration in the Register of Agricultural Holdings following the law governing agriculture. Continue reading Agricultural holdings →

Counter-enforcement is a set of actions that return to the debtor what the creditor received during the enforcement procedure if there was no basis for it at the time the enforcement procedure was initiated or if the basis ceased to exist during the further course of the enforcement procedure.

The reasons for counter-enforcement, as well as the counter-enforcement procedure, are regulated by the provisions of the Law on enforcement and security interest (“Off. Herald of RS”, Nos. 106/2015, 106/2016 – authentic interpretation,113/2017 – authentic interpretation, 54/2019 and 9/2020 – authentic interpretation).
