World Environment Day observed in Serbia
Belgrade,
5 June 2006
Director of the Environmental Protection Directorate of the Serbian Ministry of Science and Environmental Protection Miroslav Nikcevic said today that sustainable development can not be realised until the criteria of environmental protection and biodiversity are built into development policies for agriculture, forestry, water management, tourism, energy, and other policies and strategies.
Addressing an expert conference at the Jevremovac botanical gardens, which was held to observe the International Day for Biological Diversity and World Environment Day, Nikcevic said that the territory of Serbia is located on one of the most important centres of biodiversity in Europe.
He pointed out that Serbia has several specific ecosystems comprising flora and fauna that contains a number of species of international importance, and possesses a rich genofund of wild and cultivated plants and animal species, and varieties which represent irreplaceable resources for development in many economic areas, above all, agriculture, forestry, fishing industry and tourism.
Nikcevic said that Serbia is facing several environmental problems simultaneously, above all, those due to desertification, which is caused by atmospheric conditions, pollution and other human and natural factors.
The Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management has begun the realisation of the project Danube River Enterprise Pollution Reduction (DREPR), which was drafted by the Environmental Protection Directorate and is financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and the European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR).
