In 2019, the United States contributed US$1 million to clearance activities in the Republic of Serbia.[1]

In 2012, Serbia reported, for the first time, that it supported its mine action program through an annual contribution for that year of €150,000 ($192,885).[2] In 2017, Serbia contributed €100,000 ($113,010) to its mine action program,[3] but no national support was reported by Serbia in 2015–2016 nor 2018–2019.

Since 2015, annual international contributions to mine action in Serbia fluctuated from less than $140,00 to more than $1.6 million, totaling about $4.3 million in the 2015–2019 five-year period.
