I'd guess Lauxaniidae.

Meiosimyza illota, or Aulogastromyia anisodactyla, ... or ??

I think there is no dc in front of the suture, so Sapromyza. I can't see enought details to say which species, but perhaps someone, who dealt with more Lauxanids in your region will recognize it.

Of the yellow Sapromyza with 1+3 DCs & Black 3rd antennal segment. In the UK we have halidayi, obsoleta & apicalis.

No black mark on apex of front femur, so not halidayi. I think I can see a preapical bristle on the hind tibia? so rules out obsoleta

So if Serbia has the same mix of Sapromyza ? I would say this could well be apicalis?

I will check the occurence of Sapromyza species in Serbia. Your help in narrowing the possible species is of great help!
