Is Adderall legal in Serbia?
- Legal status
- The status of Adderall in Serbia is open and this cell does not close it. The dossier records a complete list negative search across Lista 1 to 7 of the Spisak psihoaktivnih kontrolisanih supstanci, Službeni glasnik RS 12/2026, for «Adderall; mešavina soli amfetamina; Amphetamine», with the final Lista 7 row and the salts clauses checked, and no exact printed row was accepted. A near comparison was rejected. The dossier names the active ingredient and rejects it on the ground that the ingredient is listed while a brand and its mixed salt formulation are not a schedule name. That active ingredient does carry its own placement in this dossier, at Lista 5 red 2 under CAS 300-62-9. So what is recorded here is the absence of a proprietary formulation from the list, not the absence of the molecule, and that distinction is the whole of the row. The outcome is recorded as not verified, and that is a statement about what the search found rather than a finding that Serbia leaves Adderall uncontrolled. What remains open is whether the current list reaches the mixed salt preparation through a preparations limb or a salts clause rather than by name. The Serbian strings here are the dossier's record in Latin script and are not offered as the Cyrillic wording of the Službeni glasnik RS.
- Consequences if caught
- Capital exposure: none. The ceiling this dossier records for Serbia is 20 years of imprisonment, by Criminal Code art. 246(5) read with the general maximum in art. 45(1). That figure is document level, the same sentence on all 88 Serbian rows, so it is given here as the dossier's recorded ceiling for the country and not as a measured statement about this substance, and no route in the instruments the dossier cites reaches death. The open scheduling question therefore does not put a capital answer in play. It puts everything else in play. If a Serbian court finds that the Spisak reaches this substance through a synonym, a plant or preparation limb, a salts clause or an analogue rule, arts 246 and 246a apply in full and divide conduct by manja količina and velika količina with no gram value printed for either. If it finds the Spisak does not reach it, those articles do not apply at all. The dossier settles neither branch, and a cell that picked one would be inventing the answer. The active ingredient of this preparation is placed by the dossier at Lista 5, red 2, under CAS 300-62-9, so a traveller carrying the branded product is carrying a listed molecule in an unlisted formulation, which is the worst of both positions for anyone relying on the absence. Treat Adderall in Serbia as unresolved rather than as permitted. The practical consequence of an unresolved row is asymmetric: a reader who assumes it is controlled risks only inconvenience, and a reader who assumes it is not risks the full reach of arts 246 and 246a. Separately from that, and carried forward from this site's published Serbia entry rather than re-derived from the Criminal Code in this pass, the published penalties are these. Drug use itself is not a criminal offence. Possession of a small amount for one's own use under Criminal Code article 246a paragraph 1 draws a fine or up to three years, and punishment may be remitted in minor cases. Small quantity is not numerically defined in law, so there is no fixed statutory quantity. Possession of a large quantity under article 246a paragraph 2 draws three to ten years. Production, circulation or sale under article 246 draws three to twelve years, five to fifteen years if committed by a group, and at least ten years if by an organised group. Cultivation of opium poppy or psychoactive hemp under article 246 draws six months to five years. Facilitating the taking of narcotics is an offence under article 247. The death penalty was abolished in 2002. Every figure in this paragraph is a penalty range or a fine and none of them is a quantity threshold. Whether the offence reaches this row at all is exactly what was not established, so they are recorded as Serbia's published drug penalties and not as this row's exposure.
- If prescribed or medical
- The dossier carries no prescription information and no traveller rule for Serbia at all, so this cell defers rather than inventing one. The country level question, meaning which Serbian body authorises a controlled medicine carried in, what paperwork it wants, what quantity it allows and how long an authorisation runs, was not established by the source behind this batch and has to be settled with the Serbian authorities before travel. On this row the deferral is doubled, because the placement is unresolved as well. The dossier records no Spisak row for Adderall, so there is no schedule position to attach a route to, and a cell that described a prescription pathway here would be describing a regime it has not shown applies. The active ingredient has a placement at Lista 5, red 2, and the branded mixed salt preparation has none, so a prescription for the brand does not correspond to anything the Spisak names.
- Documentation
- The checkable fact in this cell is the search, not the answer. The negative search recorded here ran the term «Adderall; mešavina soli amfetamina; Amphetamine» across Lista 1 to 7 on 20 September 2026 against the Spisak at Službeni glasnik RS 12/2026, and returned no exact printed row. The distinction this row turns on is between a brand and a molecule, and it is the molecule at Lista 5, red 2, under CAS 300-62-9 that a Serbian laboratory would report. Carry any medicine in its original dispensing packaging with the prescription and a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and ask the Serbian authorities before travelling rather than at the border. Do not treat an unresolved row as a clearance, and do not carry a threshold figure for Adderall from another country's law, because Serbia prints none for anything. The citation behind this cell is document level and is the same link for all 88 Serbian substances.

- Criminal Code arts 246 and 246a with art. 246(5) and art. 45(1) carrying the document level 20 year ceiling that would apply only if the list were found to reach this substance
- read at https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/pravilnik-o-utvrdjivanju-spiska-psihoaktivnih-kontrolisanih-supstanci.html for the Spisak and https://www.paragraf.rs/propisi/krivicni-zakonik-2019.html for the Criminal Code, a commercial republication in Latin script rather than the Cyrillic text of the Službeni glasnik RS. The dossier holds one link value for all 88 Serbian substances, so this citation is document level and not per substance, and nothing in it should be read as a source pinned to this substance alone. The dossier's own link field ran the two addresses together into one string with no separator between them. Read as at 20 September 2026.
- the article 246, 246a and 247 penalties stated above are carried forward from this site's published Serbia entry, which cites the Criminal Code articles 246, 246a and 247 and the Law on Psychoactive Controlled Substances. They were not re-derived from the Code in this pass, and that entry's own statement that small quantity is not numerically defined is carried with them
