Serbia, our
family

Strengthening demographic development through improving the quality of life

About the Conference

Serbia – Our Family #SerbiaFAM2025

The third conference dedicated to demographic development, modern pro-natalist measures, and family policies will be held on December 16 at the Sava Center.

The conference will bring together government representatives, international organizations, mayors from the region, experts, and the academic community to jointly address key demographic challenges.

#SerbiaFAM2025 is a place for exchanging information essential for the country’s demographic growth and development.

SerbiaFAM2025 represents an innovative platform for discussing the current situation, key issues and challenges, as well as the available potentials that can be used to shape a better future and improve Serbia’s demographic outlook.

As in previous years, a series of panel discussions will examine the most important events, trends, and policies that marked the past period, with a focus on the main priorities for the coming year.

SerbiaFAM2025 also serves as an important hub for sharing information, best practices, knowledge, and experiences, with the primary purpose of offering sustainable solutions for strengthening families, improving support for parenthood, and creating an environment that encourages childbirth.

Special emphasis is placed on the development of integrated public policies that can connect economic, social, educational, and healthcare measures, as well as mapping new models of inter-institutional cooperation.

The conference ultimately aims to strengthen international partnerships, open opportunities for new projects and initiatives, and position Serbia as a regional center for the development of modern demographic and innovative family policies.
