SUMMARY According to the Environmental and Social Management Framework Document for the INCLUSIVE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE PROJECT (ECEC) and the World Bank Environmental Safeguard Operational Procedure 4.0.1, the Bank requires Environmental Assessment of sub-projects proposed to be financed with a Bank loan in order to ensure that the projects are environmentally sound and apply sustainable decision-making processes. This Project is foreseen to expand access to quality ECEC services, in particular for children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. This Project is expected to encompass four main components: i. Component 1 - Increasing the supply of ECEC services (approximately 35 million USD) ii. Component 2: Ensuring the Quality of Inclusive ECEC Services (approximately 5 million USD) iii. Component 3: Outreach to parents and young children (approximately 10 million USD) iv. Component 4 - Project Management and Monitoring and Evaluation (approximately 4 million USD) This Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is prepared in order to identify adverse environmental impacts of the sub-project located in Sremska Mitrovica, including site-specific impacts that could be overcome with proposed mitigation measures. This EMP ensures compliance relevant national legislation and WB requirements related to environmental impact assessment procedures and physical cultural resources, and is in line with the Environmental and Social Management Framework document that was completed and subject to public consultations in Belgrade on November 4, 2016. In addition, this EMP is based and provides compliance with, relevant WB OPs that provide general policies, guidelines, codes of practice and procedures to be integrated into the implementation of all sub-projects considered for financing. This Plan consists of 14 chapters dealing with specific issues, as follows. Chapter 2. Background information and general diagnostic assessment. This Chapter provides an overview of basic country information and the current environmental institutional architecture in the Republic of Serbia. It identifies the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), as the key institution in Republic of Serbia responsible for formulation and implementation of environmental policy matters, while other institutions, such as the Institute for Nature Protection of Serbia (INP), the Institute for Protection of Cultural Monuments of the Republic of Serbia (IPCM) and the administrations of local municipalities address additional aspects of environmental management in the country. Concerning national environmental legal and environmental impact assessment frameworks in the Republic of Serbia, contained in the legislative system of the Republic of Serbia, as regulated by the Law on Environmental Impact Assessments, preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment is not required for activities foreseen by the proposed sub-project (improving and extending the existing ECD infrastructure and construction of the new ECD infrastructure) in Sremska Mitrovica. In addition, this Chapter also addresses the triggered World Bank safeguard procedures, ECEC project falls into the category B concerning OP/BP 4.01 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, with its potential adverse environmental impacts on human population or environmentally important areas- including wetlands, forests, grasslands, or other natural habitats - are site specific, with only a few/if any, irreversible. This also applies to the proposed sub-project in Sremska Mitrovica. Finally, this Chapter provides detailed information about the ECEC project as a whole. Chapter 3. Approach and methodology, discusses the developed and agreed methodology for developing site-specific EMPs to include primary data collection and analysis, mapping and analysis of secondary data through a desk study concerning publicly available information, including data on the location of the proposed sub-project. This methodology is entirely consistent with ESMF document developed for the Project. 4 Chapter 4. Sub-project description, provides an in-depth description of the planned activities for the sub-project located in Sremska Mitrovica and is planned to be implemented under Component 1 of ECEC project. The sub-project is located in Laćarak, Skolska street 1, in the broader area of Sremska Mitrovica, in the cadastral land plot no. 1032. The land plot in question has an area of 2509 m2, and is registered in the Cadaster of immovable properties as public property with title registered in the name of City Sremska Mitrovica. This land plot and adjacent land plot no. 1031 are placed under the previous protection categorized as "Conglomeration of a memorial character". The land plot adjacent to the site of the proposed sub-project is registered as property of the Serbian Orthodox Church and contains the church of Saint Archangel Michael, registered and protected as a cultural monument of great importance. Currently, the site of this sub-project contains an existing kindergarten facility built in 1970's, with the capacity that does not meet the needs of this pre-school institution.. This building is located along the construction line parallel to the street, measuring approximately 43.5x14.5m, with a gross surface
