Protecting the environment is crucial for the quality of life of present and future generations. The challenge is to combine it with continuing economic growth in a way which is sustainable over the long period of time. Forest based industries all across the globe rely on sustainable development and the good management of forests to further develop this industry.
The Ministry of Science and Environmental Protection brings together researching and economic development in Serbia as well as coordinate work of Directorate for the Environmental Protection. With assistance from the EU, Serbia has drafted a National Environmental Strategy, streamlining the Serbian legislation and economic development in line with EU legislations and policies. In line with these commitments, the Government of the Republic of Serbia established the Environmental Protection Agency
(SEPA) to develop, regulate and implement procedures in the field of environmental protection based on best practices, as well as develop and maintain the National information system for environmental protection.
One of the most important steps regarding environmental protection is the acquiring Forest Management Certification, in order to ensure sustainable use of the forests in Serbia.
Over time, this will enable companies from this industry to export more successfully to the markets that require wood that originates from managed forests.
