Although midwifery in Serbia has a long tradition, in the last decades, and especially in the last years since the Republic of Serbia is in the process of joining the European Union, this profession faces numerous challenges both in the context of formal education and the role that in the 21st century midwife has in practice. The midwife profession is faced with numerous challenges related to demographic trends and demands and expectations of a contemporary woman. The aim of the paper was to examine the difference in standards in the education of midwives in Serbia, and the neighbouring countries and Europe. Professional publications related to education and practice of midwives, published in Serbia, the neighbouring countries and Europe have been used. According to the presentation of standards and competencies of midwives in Serbia and education standards under Directive 2005/36/EZ and 2013/55/EU as well as the role and tasks midwives have in our country and European countries, there is a need for harmonization of standards in the education of midwife nurses and accreditation of joint study programs of professional master studies for nurses and midwives within the educational system of Serbia, all in the context of new paradigm of health care, which implies a holistic approach to women's health, a personalized approach and a self-protection concept. It is necessary to reform the education system of midwives in Serbia in accordance with the requirements of Directive2005/36/EZ, 2013/55/EU.
