Reporting on sustainable development has traditionally been a part of the management report. However, after the year 2000 many companies started to prepare separate report on sustainable development based on the current reporting framework. Giving that quality of sustainable information was not at the expected level, based on the fact that the sustainable reports were prepared voluntarily by companies, European Commission passed the Directive 2014/95/EU which serves as amending Directive 2013/34/EU. The Directive 2014/95/EU states that entities with more than 500 employees have an obligation to report certain non-financial information as a supplement to the management report. Otherwise stated, the Directive requires that under the specified condition, entities prepare the sustainable development report based on one among many contemporary frameworks. Research conducted on the entities whose shares are traded at the Belgrade Stock Exchange shows that Serbian companies prepare superficial reports, focusing more on the form than the content and usefulness of this information reported on the surface of the management report. The research shows also that development of sustainable reporting in Serbia is at a very low level. It seems that only one company from the Belex 15 index prepares the separate sustainable report based on GRI standards. Taking into consideration that the practice of adequate disclosure of non-financial information is missing in Serbia, sustained by the inadequate mindset of investors that do not support the importance of this information, the application of this newly passed Directive which is going to be operationalized in the Company Law in Serbia or the Law on Accounting, require Serbian companies to invest great effort in order to prepare this report.
