Automobile - Motorcycle Association of Serbia AMSS

For more than eight decades, the AMSS has been the organization rendering efficient and up-to-date set of assistances and services to the participants in traffic of all generations, 24 hours a day, all the year round. The AMSS of today represents the system with more than a hundred automobile and motorcycle clubs and societies, together with the Operation Center, information, technical and centers for drivers' training, specialized vehicles for roadside assistance, etc. The following entities also make the constituent parts of the AMSS: the Center for Motor Vehicles, the AMS Insurance Company, the AMSS Agency and the AMSS Enterprise. Since the distant 1926, the AMSS has been the member of the international organizations, such as: Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), Alliance Internationale de Tourisme (AIT), Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM). Reports concerning road conditions in the country given by the Operation Center are broadcast daily, by more than 250 radio and TV stations, as well as daily news and magazines, of which we would single out the cooperation with the SAT review, the magazine of the AMSS members. Hundreds of thousands of calls made on a yearly basis, through the unique telephone number for the country – 987, are the recognition of the AMSS as the house in which numerous automobile and motorcycle users, as well as other participants in traffic, may have their complete trust, not only when assistance and information concerning traffic and automobile are needed, but also when one is in need of friendly understanding and support. In that sense, we are very glad to have more and more drivers deciding to become members of the AMSS and through this membership express their need for an appropriate protection of their rights and interests, on all the levels of participation in traffic.
