About us

Serbian Association of Small Animal Practitioners is a voluntary, independent and non-profit professional association of citizens whose main goal is the professional and business organization of veterinarians who, as part of their activity, exclusively or partially deal with pet veterinary medicine.

Serbian Association of Small Animal Practitioners (SASAP) was founded as an Yugoslav Association of small animal practitioners (YASAP) on May 25th 1995, in Belgrade, during the symposium “Small animals – life and health”.

The first president elected was Dr Nikola Popovic. The basic idea was to better organize veterinary practitioners who work with small animals, to improve every day work with small animals, to provide educations for after graduates and to become the member of international professional and scientific organizations. YASAP has become a full member of FECAVA and WSAVA .

Until August 2005. the Association was working under the umbrella of the Veterinary Chamber of Serbia. From 18th August 2005. the Association was legally registered as an independent, non profitable professional organization. Denis Novak DVM MRVCS was elected as a new president.
In November 2006, Association has changed the name in Serbian Association Of Small Animal Practitioners – SASAP. Since 2004, SASAP has organised more than 60 CE events and became regional leader amongst the similar organisation.
