Abstract. This paper presents a review of the approaches to the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis as well as discussion regarding the selection of the appropriate methodology of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for the territory of the Republic of Serbia. Use of the deductive approach has been suggested, as well as that the new Serbian seismic hazard maps should be expressed through the values of the peak ground acceleration, having in mind that the new hazard maps for the Republic of Serbia should be compiled in compliance with the recommendations of the Eurocode 8.
Key words: Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, peak ground acceleration, Republic of Serbia.

ODABIR ODGOVARAJUĆE METODOLOGIJE ZA PROBABILISTIČKU ANALIZU 
SEIZMIČKOG HAZARDA NA TERITORIJI REPUBLIKE SRBIJE
U ovom radu dat je pregled pristupa probabilističkoj analizi seizmičkog hazarda, kao i diskusija vezana za izbor odgovarajuće metodologije probabilističke analize seizmičkog hazarda za teritoriju Republike Srbije. Predloženo je korišćenje deduktivnog pristupa kao i da bi nove srpske karte seizmičkog hazarda trebalo da budu izražene preko maksimalnih (vršnih, "peak") vrednosti ubrzanja tla, imajući u vidu da bi nove karte hazarda za Republiku Srbiju trebalo da budu sastavljene u skladu sa preporukama Evrokoda 8.
