The modern world is now facing with major problems in securing sufficient production of safe food, particularly foods of animal origin. A significant number of factors, indirectly and directly over food, have threaten health of humans. Teams of multidisciplinary experts have engaged in intensive research in this area, and this gives rise to risk analysis, control and monitoring recommendations of many diseases, such as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs), including the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), known as Made Cows disease which is parallels of the fatal zoonotic diseases, new variant of Creutzfeldt Jakobs disease in humans (BSE/vCJD). In our country the disease has not registered yet, but because of some risk of BSE, even negligible, there is a need for the effective implementation of the two-stage control mechanism (passive and active surveillance), as it would be possible to discover this disease and put it under control. Budimir Plavsic EFSA (2007) adopted the Protocol and suggested it to the EU Commission for BSE. In this protocol EFSA suggested some procedures on live animals that are important for monitoring and control of TSE risks, especially important to implement in so-called third countries. These measures have a global strategic importance, and thay are especially important for good cooperation and trade between countries in the region (WBC), as well as further export of safe food of animal origin from this region to other markets. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture, Trade, Forestry and Water Management, Veterinary Directorate has taken certain measures with the aim of monitoring the action plan continue to assess TSE in ruminants in the Republic of Serbia.
