Familiarity with the legal norms is the cornerstone of organized society, based on legal foreseeability and the possibility for making plans and decisions. For this purpose, the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia stipulates the obligation to publish laws and other general acts in the public journal (Official Gazette) before their entry into force, so that all interested parties can get familiar with them. However, in the contemporary circumstances of extensive legislative work and a huge number of regulatory acts which are enacted on a daily basis, it seems that citizens and business entities cannot keep up with them all.
