"Russia" → "Serbia"
Entering "Serbia": what you need
Serbia is on the EU's low-rabies-risk "listed" countries, and its own entry rules follow that status — no titer test is required from Russia, a vaccination and certificate are enough.
Rabies titer test
Not required. Only a rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before departure is mandatory.
Documents
A veterinary certificate is issued at the СББЖ (форма №1), then exchanged for an international veterinary certificate at the departure airport — as for most destinations outside the EU and Customs Union.
Leaving "Russia": the paperwork
This is the country's general departure procedure — it doesn't depend on where you are heading. For arrival requirements, see the destination country's card or the From → To section.
Documents
a veterinary certificate (форма №1) is issued at a state veterinary clinic (СББЖ) at your place of residence no more than 5 days before departure (exam + all vaccines up to date) — only the person who will actually travel with the pet can receive it, a power of attorney isn't accepted. In Moscow and St. Petersburg форма №1 can be exchanged for the international certificate in a single visit at one institution — ВГНКИ (Moscow) or ВНИИЗЖ (St. Petersburg); elsewhere the exchange happens at the departure airport's border veterinary checkpoint (Госветнадзор), usually on the day of or 1–3 days before the flight — budget time, the queue there can take several hours, especially before evening flights. EU countries get a Евросправка, most other countries a форма №5a certificate; EAEU countries need no exchange at all — форма №1 just gets an "export permitted" stamp (see the Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan pages). Only vaccines legally registered in Russia count.

Never give your pet a sedative or sleep medication before a flight without a veterinarian's prescription — pressure changes at altitude can make it fatal.
