The Ministry of Environmental Protection will continue to subsidize the purchase of electric vehicles in 2025, marking the sixth consecutive year of this initiative as part of efforts to improve air quality.
Irena Vujović, Minister of Environmental Protection, highlighted that over the past five years, around 2,800 environmentally friendly vehicles have been purchased with the support of the Ministry.
According to her, subsidizing electric vehicles is a crucial measure for improving air quality, and its implementation will continue this year as well.
„The current plan is for the Government of Serbia to adopt the Regulation on the Conditions and Procedure for Subsidized Purchase of New Electric Vehicles for 2025 by the end of January. This will allow individuals and legal entities to submit applications and qualify for this form of state support starting in February. Last year, we allocated 170 million dinars for this purpose, but due to the large number of valid applications, we secured additional funds and spent a total of 205 million dinars. If interest exceeds the allocated amount again this year, we will strive to provide additional funds”, said Vujović.

She added that the subsidy amounts will depend on the type of electric vehicle and will range from 250 to 5,000 euros. State subsidies will also be available to future buyers of the electric „Panda” car produced in the Kragujevac factory, with a subsidy of 5,000 euros planned for this passenger vehicle.
After the adoption of the 2025 Regulation, which will specify the amounts and procedures for applying for subsidies this year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection’s website will publish a form with details of the required documentation. The deadline for submitting applications will, as in previous years, be October 31, to ensure all applications are processed within the current year, the Ministry stated in its announcement.
