If you're under 16 years old, you'll need parental permission.<ref>[http://www.svss-uspda.ch/pdf/Abortion%20legislation_Europe2012.pdf Between 10 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, you can get an abortion for the following reasons: if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, or if the pregnant woman is suffering from psychological trauma or socio-economic challenges that are so great so she cannot carry the pregnancy to term. To receive an abortion after 10 weeks, the pregnant woman must receive approval from a panel of experts.<ref>[https://www.womenonwaves.org/en/page/6047/undefined Women on Waves, Serbia]</ref> | |||
