2023150 Years of Metrology in Serbia - Set

Metrology in Serbia has a long tradition. The National Assembly of the Principality of Serbia voted, on December 1, 1873, the Law on Measures, which officially accepted the decimal metric system in Serbia and established the Department of Measures at the Ministry of Finance of the Principality of Serbia with the task of taking care of the control of measurement and comparison of measurement units. Already in 1879, the Principality of Serbia joined the international "Meter Convention", which was established in 1875, which created a framework for the industrial, commercial and social application of established measures, both in the country and at the international level.
