5. Stop sign
A stop sign requires drivers to bring their vehicle to a complete stop and give way before entering or crossing the road ahead. The stop must be made at the stop line or another legally prescribed position.
After stopping, the driver may continue only when this can be done safely and without interfering with traffic that has priority. The sign does not create priority for the driver who has stopped.

Must I stop completely at a stop sign in Serbia?
Yes. Come to a complete stop when the applicable stop sign controls your approach, even when you cannot see another road user. Slowing to a crawl is not a stop. The stopping duty is separate from the duty to give way before continuing.
Stop and give way.
English • Traffic sign II-2 • Compulsory stop. Drivers must stop and give way to vehicles on the road being approached, or stop before a railway crossing and give way to rail vehicles on the track being approached.
Српски • II-2 • Обавезно заустављање. Означава наредбу возачу да мора да заустави возило и уступи првенство пролаза возилима која се крећу путем на који наилази односно означава наредбу возачу да мора да заустави возило испред прелаза пута преко пруге и да уступи првенство пролаза шинском возилу које се креће по прузи на коју наилази.

Where must I stop at a stop-controlled junction in Serbia?
Stop before the marked stop line or the prescribed stopping position before the junction. Remain outside the conflicting route until you have a safe view and can give way to the traffic entitled to pass.
Does stopping first give me priority at a stop sign in Serbia?
A complete stop does not, by itself, give you priority. Give way to the road users entitled to pass under the junction’s signs and rules, check pedestrians and cyclists, and proceed only when the gap is safe. Do not follow another stopped vehicle through without satisfying your own stopping and yielding duties.
