At the same time, Serbia started the process of approaching to EU, and during this process, the State needs to harmonize its legislation with EU legislation in all sectors. Due to this, reforms also started in the hunting sector, and a new Law on game and hunting (2010) was proclaimed in 2010. That new Law brought certain changes, being more oriented towards sustainable management and biodiversity protection than the old one. One part of bylaws that accompany the new Law entered into force during 2011, and the rest of them should enter into force in the coming period. Also, this Law prescribes the components which allow decentralization of the Hunting Association of Serbia, and this process already started in 2011" (Nikolić, 2013).
