Abstract

Five years ago, the European Commission adopted the EU Strategy for the Danube Region, together with the Action Plan on its implementation. After that, the Council of the European Union adopted a decision which called upon all stakeholders to get actively involved in its implementation. The Danube Strategy contains several priority areas. One of them is the protection of the environment and the sustainable use of natural resources in the Danube River Basin. For the sake of the improvement of the economy, the process of integration and inclusion of the Republic of Serbia in the development plans of the European Union and connecting with all the countries of the Danube River Basin, our country, before obtaining the EU membership candidate status, participated equally in defining the objectives of the Danube Strategy. In addition, Serbia participates in their implementation as well. Although the Republic of Serbia is one of the coordinator countries for science and transport (except waterways), important for its development, as well as the process of accession to the European Union, are activities in the field of environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources in the Danube River Basin. No special funds are provided for the realization of the objectives defined by the Danube Strategy, and it is not required to adopt new regulations. Therefore, for the implementation of projects in the field of environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources, the Republic of Serbia will mainly have to use preaccession funds, as well as funds from international financial institutions.
