Chapter II
THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS

2. Territorial jurisdiction
General rules on determining territorial jurisdiction
Article 25
(1) As a rule, the court within whose territory the criminal offense is committed shall have jurisdiction. It shall be considered that the criminal offense is committed both in the place where the perpetrator acted or was obligated to act, as well as the place where the consequence, entirely or partly, occurred. In cases of attempted criminal offense, the jurisdiction belongs to the court of the territory on which the last act was committed or omitted, and if the last act was committed or omitted outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia, it falls under the jurisdiction of the

court of the territory on which the consequence of a criminal offense should have occurred.

Article 25
Individual criminal responsibility
3. In accordance with this Statute, a person shall be criminally responsible and liable for punishment for a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court if that person:
(f) Attempts to commit such a crime by taking action that commences its execution by means of a substantial step, but the crime does not occur because of circumstances independent of the person's intentions. However, a person who abandons the effort to commit the crime or otherwise prevents the completion of the crime shall not be liable for punishment under this Statute for the attempt to commit that crime if that person completely and voluntarily gave up the criminal purpose.
