In April 2026, EIFL submitted comments for a public consultation organized by the Intellectual Property Office of the Republic of Serbia on the Draft Law on Copyright and Related Rights (2026). The amendments seek to harmonize Serbian law with two EU Directives (Directive 2012/28 on orphan works and Directive 2014/26 on collective management organizations), and to implement the Marrakesh Treaty for persons with disabilities into national law.

In March, EIFL responded to two public consultations on proposed new copyright laws. The Kenya Copyright Board (KECOBO) invited stakeholders to submit written comments on the Copyright and Related Rights Bill, 2026, while in Zambia, the Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA) encouraged stakeholders to review and send proposals on the Copyright and Related Rights Bill, 2025 (extended deadline 31 March 2026). The bills seek to modernize the copyright frameworks in Kenya and Zambia in line with technological developments and international best practices.
