Nikola Bodirooga, PhD has prepared the legal analysis of the registration of the fact of birth of a child in the birth registry book with support of the non-governmental organization Praxis within the project “Contribution to Social Inclusion and Combat Discrimination of Marginalized Population in Serbia”, funded by Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The analysis deals with the problems of the registration of the fact of birth of children in birth registry books whose parents do not possess a birth certificate or an ID card.

According to the author, the solution of the problem lies in the possibility to register the children only on the basis of data received from parents without enclosing documents, and also in changing the Instruction on Administering the Birth Registry Books and Birth Registry Forms in a way to alleviate the conditions for the registration of the birth of a child meaning that parents could use other evidence to confirm the identity of their child instead of enclosing an ID card.
