Platform Launch and Access
The ‘Serb’ platform will be available to the public starting on the evening of January 28, allowing drone enthusiasts to register their devices and obtain authorization for recreational drone use. The platform is designed to be user-friendly and will streamline the registration process for drone operators.
Registration and Safety Compliance
