EU Kids Online 2026 Research - Digital habits of children and youth in Serbia

To address challenges and risks that youth and children face when using Internet, the OSCE Mission supported the research and presentation of the 2025 EU Kids Online in Serbia report: Digital everyday lives of children and youth in Serbia. 

Researchers from 19 countries, including Serbia, participating in the EU Kids Online network, took part in the study which focused on examining modern digital habits, online risks and well-being of children and adolescents aged 11–17.

The report presented today includes the results of the second round of research conducted in Serbia in late 2025, based on a representative sample of 1,993 students aged 11–17 from 37 elementary schools and 27 high schools in Serbia.

The research was conducted in Serbia for the second time in 2025, the previous cycle was conducted in 2018. Research findings have significant practical implications and can serve as an empirical basis for fostering strategic decisions and informing the drafting of policies related to these issues in the contemporary social context.  The research is available in Serbian language.
