Register of Missing Persons in Serbia

Numerous disappearances of children and minors on an annual basis in Serbia are an alarm that is rightly ignored. Nothing is known about the disappearances of many, but only a small number of them, thanks to the involvement of their families, reach social networks and the media, when the public search actually begins.

The idea for the WordPress plugin was created with the aim of sharing information about missing persons to everyone who wants to contribute to our fight for child safety. We also have mobile apps available for Android and iOS.

The Register of Missing Persons of Serbia was launched in June 2017. The goal of starting the register is the visibility of a large number of missing persons whose data and photos, apart from police records, are not available to the public. The Center is of the opinion that with such an approach, non-transparency, the general public cannot get involved in the search and contribute to the search for missing persons, primarily minors. By launching the register – the only database of missing persons from the territory of Serbia, the Center also raises public awareness about missing persons as an everyday occurrence.
