A number in Serbia is the country code +381 followed by a national number of 7–12 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 060 1234567, an example mobile number in Serbia is dialed as +381 60 1234567 from abroad.
Leave out the leading 0 when you dial it with the country code.
Why a call to Serbia fails to connect
- Keeping the leading 0: after +381 it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 381 as the start of a number in Switzerland, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Serbia has 7–12 digits after +381.
