From 2026, the "Household Budget Survey" is being conducted for the first time in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which establishes a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households based on data at individual level collected from samples.
In accordance with the aforementioned Regulation, data from the Household Budget Survey are to be collected and transmitted to Eurostat every five years, starting from 2026 (2026, 2030, 2035, etc.).
Taking into account the process of accession of the Republic of Serbia to the European Union and the obligation to harmonize the system of official statistics of the Republic of Serbia with the European Statistical System (ESS) within the framework of Negotiating Chapter 18 - Statistics, starting from 2026, the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia will conduct the Household Budget Survey at five-year intervals, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as well as with the ESS standards and best practices.
Following the 2026 operation, the next Household Budget Survey will be conducted in 2030.
