Dalibor Stupar<\/p>\n

Will<\/span> the improvement in Serbia happen only after we resolve the dilemma of whether we should erect a monument to the Chetnik leader and quisling Dragoljub Dra\u017ea Mihailovi\u0107 in the center of Belgrade and at the same time evict Tito from the House of Flowers<\/span>?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The proposals of 18 NGOs<\/span> that were<\/span> submitted ahead of the update of the Green Agenda this year, aim to increase the focus of the initiative, <\/span>the <\/span>transparency<\/span>,<\/span> and <\/span>the <\/span>results of the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans<\/span>. This was communicated by the <\/span>Bankwatch <\/span>N<\/span>etwork for Central and Eastern Europe<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>CEE Bankwatch Network).<\/span> Some of the <\/span>proposals <\/span>include <\/span>a request to review the voluntary nature of the Green Agenda and to <\/span>require the <\/span>governments to publicly commit to specific actions.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

NGOs called on the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), which is the main regional partner in the coordination of the Green Agenda, to <\/span>break<\/span> down <\/span>the action plan into time-bound steps<\/span> and to <\/span>clearly <\/span>state <\/span>who is responsible for <\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>implementation <\/span>of those steps, including <\/span>basic information <\/span>that will <\/span>enable effective monitoring of <\/span>the <\/span>progress.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Green Agenda for the Western Balkans, launched by the European Commission in October 2020, is the main initiative <\/span>that <\/span>encourage<\/span>s<\/span> the governments of the region to use EU <\/span>funding <\/span>for decarboni<\/span>z<\/span>ation, pollution reduction, circular economy, sustainable rural development<\/span>,<\/span> and protection<\/span> of <\/span>biodiversity<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

CEE <\/span>Bankwatch communicated <\/span>that four years <\/span>after <\/span>it was <\/span>launch<\/span>ed<\/span> and three years since <\/span>the <\/span>Western Balkan leaders adopted the Action Plan 2021-2030 in October 2021, the lack of a clear structure, timeline<\/span>,<\/span> and targeted reporting <\/span>are things that <\/span>continue to prevent <\/span>the <\/span>civil society from exercising effective oversight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

T<\/span>he proposals were supported<\/span>, <\/span>inter alia,<\/span> by the Climate Action Network (CAN Europe), Belgrade Open School, <\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>Resource Centers for Environment from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Montenegro<\/span>,<\/span> and North Macedonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Green Agenda for the Western Balkans will be the topic of the ministerial meeting <\/span>at <\/span>the Berlin Process on October 8<\/span>th<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Why criticism?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Republic of Serbia is one of the signatories of the Sofia Declaration on the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans. The document was adopted at the Western Balkans Summit in Sofia on November 10<\/span>th<\/span>, 2020, as part of the Berlin Process initiative. In short, <\/span>this <\/span>six-page<\/span>r<\/span><\/a> includes the aspirations and desires of the <\/span>leaders of the <\/span>Western Balkan <\/span>countries<\/span>, who <\/span>agreed that the region should move faster towards the European Union by focusing attention on <\/span>resolving <\/span>environmental <\/span>issues. It is<\/span> divided into five pillars <\/span>that relate to <\/span>future development:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

1. Climate, energy, mobility<\/span><\/div>\n
2. Circular economy<\/span><\/div>\n
3. Reducing pollution<\/span><\/div>\n
4. Sustainable agriculture and food production<\/span><\/div>\n
5. Biodiversity<\/span><\/div>\n

The agreement and <\/span>the <\/span>signing of this <\/span>D<\/span>eclaration <\/span>were <\/span>only the first step<\/span>s<\/span>, after which it was necessary to establish various mechanisms, improve <\/span>the <\/span>cross-sectoral management<\/span>,<\/span> and support the integration of the green, low-carbon transition <\/span>by reforming <\/span>the public administration, <\/span>the <\/span>public finance management, the economic reform program and <\/span>ensure <\/span>mobilization of own resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is difficult to say with certainty which of the <\/span>above-mentioned<\/span> things have <\/span>been implemented in Serbia. The green agenda has a hard time breaking through to the public and the agenda of the <\/span>relevant <\/span>authorities due to the (<\/span>perpetually<\/span>) <\/span>trending <\/span>topics – elections, Kosovo, Tito and Dra\u017ea, rehabilitation of war criminals, the <\/span>reintroduction of mandatory <\/span>military service, protests by educators and farmers…<\/span><\/p>\n

Europe keeps <\/span>track<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of vague reports from <\/span>government <\/span>authorities that should<\/span> be the institutions taking care <\/span>of this work, such as the Ministry of European Integration, Serbia’s (lack of) progress in this matter is visible from <\/span>each <\/span>annual report <\/span>published by <\/span>the European Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

The negotiating chapters for Serbia are <\/span>organized <\/span>in clusters, and this <\/span>particular one <\/span>(Cluster 4) was opened in December 2021 as Serbia fulfilled the <\/span>A<\/span>ction <\/span>P<\/span>lan on oil reserves and the <\/span>A<\/span>ction <\/span>P<\/span>lan <\/span>on <\/span>separation of <\/span>the <\/span>activities in the gas sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he latest report<\/span> for 2023<\/span><\/a> reminds agai<\/span>n<\/span>,<\/span> like <\/span>in <\/span>each of the <\/span>previous <\/span>reports<\/span>, that the Cluster on Green Agenda and Sustainable Connectivity <\/span>is <\/span>at<\/span> the\u00a0<\/span>heart of the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans, <\/span>and that <\/span>it is closely related to the Program of Economic Reforms of Serbia and <\/span>with <\/span>the Economic and Investment Plan of the Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“<\/span>Some <\/span>progress has been achieved, especially in the Trans-European networks, where Serbia has advanced in the improvement of its infrastructure, with the <\/span>progressing of <\/span>works <\/span>related to <\/span>construction of the gas interconnector <\/span>between <\/span>Serbia<\/span> and <\/span>Bulgaria, as well as in the <\/span>area <\/span>of climate change, with the adoption of the Low Carbon Development Strategy 2023-2030″, <\/span>says the <\/span>EU report.<\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>here was no significant <\/span>progress <\/span>in this cluster because <\/span>the R<\/span>eport <\/span>for<\/span> 2022<\/span><\/a> point<\/span>s<\/span> out that “in principle, limited progress has been achieved” and Serbia was <\/span>called <\/span>to focus on better prioritization in terms of investments, planning<\/span>,<\/span> and management in all areas in the <\/span>up<\/span>coming period.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In 2022 the EU said it expects continu<\/span>ation of<\/span> the <\/span>railway<\/span>‘<\/span>s <\/span>reform <\/span>and improve<\/span>ment of <\/span>the strategic transport framework in line with EU and Western Balkan strategies for sustainable and smart mobility; urgent implementation of the <\/span>A<\/span>ction <\/span>P<\/span>lan for separation of activities in the gas sector and further diversification of gas routes and gas supply to reduce <\/span>the <\/span>dependence <\/span>from <\/span>Russia; adoption of an ambitious national energy and climate plan that is in line with the <\/span>objective for <\/span>zero emissions <\/span>envisaged in <\/span>European Green Deal for 2050 <\/span>as well as <\/span>greater efforts in the implementation and application of regulations related to environment and climate change, especially in terms of environmental impact assessment, waste management, air and water quality, cross-border cooperation and law enforcement by inspection<\/span> authorities<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

One <\/span>year before that, in<\/span> the <\/span>R<\/span>eport for 2021<\/span><\/a>, the EU assessed that Serbia met the criteria for opening the chapter on energy:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“The country has made progress in the <\/span>area <\/span>of road safety and railway reform. It also adopted a <\/span>L<\/span>aw on <\/span>C<\/span>limate, as well as a package of <\/span>main <\/span>energy laws, including new laws on renewable energy sources and energy efficiency”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The situation on the ground<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In addition to the EU,<\/span> Coalition 27, founded by civil society organizations in 2014 <\/span>to <\/span>monitor and contribute to <\/span>the <\/span>negotiations related to Chapter 27 – environment and climate change (now Cluster 4)<\/span>, also focused <\/span>the spotlight on the Green Agenda<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Their <\/span>“Coalition 27 Shadow Reports” track progress in these areas, and <\/span>the most recent (<\/span>tenth<\/span>)<\/span> report from 2023 is <\/span>“Green agenda without an agenda”<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It is warned<\/span>, <\/span>inter alia,<\/span> that the real problems of all citizens of Serbia in the field of environmental protection have been ignored, <\/span>including the <\/span>recommendations <\/span>provided by <\/span>the European Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“The quality of the air we breathe, the (<\/span>non<\/span>)availability of clean drinking water, the endangerment of natural habitats and species, the spread of <\/span>illegal dumpsites <\/span>are <\/span>all <\/span>consequences of <\/span>the <\/span>missed deadlines for implementation of <\/span>the <\/span>EU legislation in Chapter 27. The <\/span>government <\/span>is sending us an unequivocal message <\/span>\u2013<\/span> it is not s<\/span>ufficiently committed to changes<\/span>,<\/span> to the detriment of all citizens, <\/span>and <\/span>the environment <\/span>continues to be non-priority issue for the government<\/span>“, <\/span>says <\/span>the report.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The coalition also warns that the public does not <\/span>receive <\/span>all the necessary information <\/span>to be able to effectively <\/span>participate in <\/span>the <\/span>decision-making<\/span> process. This <\/span>makes the processes “non-transparent and often contrary to the needs of the public”, especially <\/span>in situations <\/span>when public hearings are held during holidays or <\/span>in a period of <\/span>vacations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

One of the important objections refers to non-compliance with the deadlines for adoption of documents, many of which have expired.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

“Either we do<\/span> not <\/span>know how we are progressing, or we know that we are late with the adoption of documents such as the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan, the Environmental Protection Strategy with Action Plan, the Law on Environmental Impact Assessment, the Law on Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment, the Law on Water and <\/span>the <\/span>Energy Development Strategies<\/span> \u2013 we are still waiting<\/span>\u00a0for<\/span> their <\/span>publication”, <\/span>the C<\/span>oalition<\/span> warns<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Coalition 27 warned that the <\/span>amendment <\/span>of the <\/span>B<\/span>udget for 2023<\/span> reduced <\/span>the total budget of the Ministry of Environmental Protection by 4 billion dinars<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>that is <\/span>18.34 billion dinars <\/span>were planned and <\/span>14.13 billion<\/span> were allocated<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It seems that <\/span>some progress has been noted at least in this regard<\/span>, because <\/span>the <\/span>budget of the Ministry of Environmental Protection <\/span>for this year <\/span>is projected at 18.5 billion dinars, but with the <\/span>amendment <\/span>adopted on September 3<\/span>0,<\/span> it was <\/span>i<\/span>ncreased to 21.69 billion<\/span><\/a> in which <\/span>6.49 billion was allocated under the Green Agenda item. However, there are no details<\/span> on<\/span> what are these funds earmarked <\/span>for.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Coalition 27 <\/span>identified many issues <\/span>that are still not <\/span>remedied – <\/span>from air quality to waste management, <\/span>and the same goes for <\/span>other areas <\/span>such as <\/span>environmental protection from noise, water management, forests<\/span>,<\/span> and nature<\/span>. None of them are on the <\/span>priority list of institutions, which is why progress is very slow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Coalition 27 warns that the increase in allocations for the international exhibition EXPO 2027 in 2024, according to current plans, will cost 0.4% of <\/span>the <\/span>GDP, which practically means that “that amount is greater than <\/span>both <\/span>Serbia’s investments in the field of environmental protection and <\/span>the <\/span>investments in the field of education”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Green fund<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Coalition 27 <\/span>mentions <\/span>that, due to the lack of ambition for more serious reforms and the <\/span>delay in the finalization <\/span>of reforms, <\/span>and because of the <\/span>lack of adequate funding, <\/span>the <\/span>progress is slow and uncoordinated<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

One of the major problems is that the Government of the Republic of Serbia has not yet established an operational Green Fund to finance environmental protection reforms, even though year after year, this was one of the <\/span>core <\/span>recommendations of the European Commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

It is worth not<\/span>ing<\/span> that<\/span> the Green Fund <\/span>used to exist but<\/span>in a burst of populism when the Serbian Progressive Party came to power, it was abolished <\/span>and was <\/span>only formally but not actually restarted.<\/span> Law on the Validity of the Law on Environmental Protection Fund<\/span><\/a> was adopted in September 2012, only four months after the SNS <\/span>party <\/span>came to power. <\/span>According to this <\/span>l<\/span>aw<\/span>,<\/span> w<\/span>h<\/span>ich<\/span>has <\/span>four articles, the rights and obligations of the Fund were assumed by the Republic of Serbia, while the environmental tax became budget revenue. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of 2016, the Government of Serbia adopted<\/span> a <\/span>Decision on the establishment of Green Fund of the Republic of Serbia<\/span><\/a> which start<\/span>ed<\/span> with operation <\/span>in 2017. <\/span><\/p>\n

This document states that <\/span>“<\/span>t<\/span>he <\/span>F<\/span>und is established to <\/span>register the funding <\/span>intended to finance the preparation, implementation<\/span>,<\/span> and development of programs, projects and other activities in the field of conservation, sustainable use, protection and improvement of the environment”. This <\/span>F<\/span>und had money from 2017 to 2020, only to be empty again <\/span>in<\/span> 2021. The situation <\/span>with <\/span>this year’s budget <\/span>is the same <\/span>\u2013<\/span> there<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s no Green Fund.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drought, landfills, pollution<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Drought and extremely high temperatures, which are <\/span>major environmental concerns, caused additional problems throughout Serbia in the form of fires at landfills, and this caused additional air pollution\u00a0<\/span>in <\/span>many <\/span>cities<\/span> in the country<\/span>. In Novi Sad, the regional landfill was on fire in April, <\/span>the same happened <\/span>at the end of August<\/span> whe<\/span>n<\/span> the area near the landfill burned for almost ten days.<\/span> The landfills were burning<\/span><\/a> twice in Kraljevo, <\/span>followed by <\/span>U\u017eice, Kikinda, Subotica, Sjenica, Smederevo… Unfortunately, this is not only <\/span>because of <\/span>the drought<\/span> – <\/span>according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 1,760 landfill fires were recorded <\/span>in Serbia <\/span>in 2022!<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, trains <\/span>carrying <\/span>dangerous chemicals derailed on several occasions – in February near Ruma <\/span>when <\/span>phosphoric acid<\/span> was involved<\/span>, in April and July near Zaje\u010dar <\/span>with cars carrying <\/span>sulfuric acid, in June near Bor also with sulfuric acid, and in August near \u0160abac <\/span>with <\/span>empty <\/span>cistern cars<\/span>. Environmental impact studies<\/span> are avoided in large projects<\/span><\/a> that <\/span>can potentially cause pollution, and the <\/span>relevant <\/span>authorities do not sanction such practice<\/span>s<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

These days, the heating season should start<\/span> and <\/span>according<\/span><\/a> to expert estimates,<\/span> at least 70,000 people have died <\/span>in Serbia since 2015 <\/span>directly as a result of polluted air, because<\/span>,<\/span> in addition to low-quality coal, <\/span>they privately use everything that burns for heating purposes, <\/span>motor oil<\/span>,<\/span> and various <\/span>waste<\/span>.<\/span> There are countless examples<\/span> of that<\/span>, and it remains to be seen whether the appeal of the non-governmental sector will bear fruit and whether the situation will change after the ministerial meeting on October 8<\/span>th<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or the <\/span>improvement <\/span>in <\/span>Serbia <\/span>will <\/span>happen <\/span>only after we resolve the dilemma of whether we should erect a monument to <\/span>the <\/span>Chetnik leader and quisling Dragoljub Dra\u017ea Mihailovi\u0107 in the center of Belgrade and at the same time evict Tito from the House of Flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n
