Dear all, we are happy to share the news that ISKCON has been registered as a religious community in Serbia again, after a year-long string of efforts by local devotees.
In the past, ISKCON has already been accepted as a religious community in Serbia, all until 2007 when it was erased from the list with an explanation that its Statute is more suitable for a civil organisation, not a religious one. Last year devotees finally agreed to join efforts and start the whole process of registration again. One hundred signatures had to be collected and all the legal and supporting documents composed. The request was at first reset to a new round due to objections related to two signatures, which made the devotees collect those all from scratch again. After the signatures got validated, the Ministry of Justice went thoroughly through the submitted documents and supporting statements from other countries, asked for further clarifications twice and finally approved the request.
We are deeply thankful to all the preachers who were helping this yatra since the 90ies and all the devotees from Serbia and other countries who have supported our community.
Let it grow and develop for the pleasure of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada
