ACROSSEE PARTNERS INPUT PROVISION FOR THE CURRENT REPORT .....................................................11 page 4 of 37 ROAD MAP IMPROVING COORDINATION FOR ACROSSEE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY INFRASTRUCTURE 1 Executive summary The present report “Road Map for improving coordination for primary and secondary infrastructure” has been elaborated according to the description of the activities of Work Package (WP) 3 in the approved Application Form (AF) and Implementation Plan of the ACROSSE project. Specifically, it constitutes a specific output defined in the AF, corresponding to one of the Deliverables foreseen for Action 3.1 and specifically Output 3.1.9. The purpose of this Activity according to the AF is to improve coordination in promoting, planning and operation for primary and secondary infrastructure with the overall aim to promote accessibility in South East Europe (SEE). The main objective of the report is to present the existing situation regarding secondary networks condition and performance and investigate means of their promotion towards better accessibility. It is based on relevant results of the analysis of other technical WPs of the project (WP 4 and 5), the outcomes of WP3 Actions (WP3.1.4-7), information provided from the ACROSSEE Project Partners (PPs) and results of other projects. The structure of the report was agreed through several project and Core Group of PPs meetings. After the current introductory chapter, in the second chapter of the report is presented the scope of the Action and basic considerations regarding “accessibility”. In the third chapter are presented the methodology followed and the activities undertaken and in the fourth chapter the obstacles identified in the region for better coordination and performance of secondary/ regional transport networks, on the basis of the opinions provided by the project partners, per country. Then in the fifth chapter are identified the potentials for improvement of the regional/international accessibility and mobility, i.e. the basis for the formulation of the conclusions of chapter 6, as a Road Map for coordinated development and performance of secondary infrastructure. page 5 of 37 ROAD MAP IMPROVING COORDINATION FOR ACROSSEE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY INFRASTRUCTURE 2 Scope of Action SEE Transnational Cooperation Programme Priority 3 is dedicated to the Improvement of Accessibility. ACROSSEE project contributes to this aim through analysing the existing situation of transport links and nodes in the SEE region and various future scenarios of development, focusing on the border crossings improvement and coordination of projects and investments. The development of the Trans-European Networks and the major trans-national corridors in the region, Core Network Corridors and former Pan-European Corridors and Routes in the Western Balkans SEETO Comprehensive Networks, in combination with the need of many and major projects, the great volume of investment requirements, in contrast with the scarcity of funds, normally create the conditions for the national governments to focus on primary networks development and endangers the neglecting short term rehabilitation and maintenance requirements on the secondary network. As correctly expressed in a draft position paper of the European Union Road Federation contributing to the report of the extension of TEN-T for Networks for Peace and Development (EC, 2005), investment schemes should be balanced and should “take into account the socio-economic aspirations of citizens of the Region in addition to long-term European integration objectives” (ERF-CCBLSEE, 2006). The EU Territorial Agenda 2020 under the chapter 5 of the territorial priorities for EU development “Improving territorial connectivity for individuals, communities and enterprises” declares that “further development of Trans-European networks (TEN-T) linking the main European centres, such as capitals, metropolitan regions and TEN-nodes and improving linkages between primary and secondary systems should be an essential component of the integrated network. Development of secondary networks is important, especially at regional and local level” (EU, 2011). page 6 of 37 ROAD MAP IMPROVING COORDINATION FOR ACROSSEE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY INFRASTRUCTURE This has been a renewed aim further to the EU Territorial Agenda of 2007 which stressed the importance of efficient secondary networks linking with respective hinterland areas (EU, 2007). Action 3.1.9 in the framework of ACROSSEE focuses on the improvement of coordination in planning and operation of primary and secondary infrastructure to improve accessibility. These improvements include, inter alia, better planning for upgrade of infrastructure and services of feeder lines, ensuring efficient connections of ports to the railway network, the definition, hierarchy and integration of intermodal nodes and hubs in WB/ SEE, given the fact that TEN-T indicative maps for Western Balkans do not provide such information. page 7 of 37 ROAD MAP IMPROVING COORDINATION FOR ACROSSEE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY INFRASTRUCTURE 3 Methodology The methodology followed for the elaboration of the current report has been defined by the overall methodology developed by the Core Group of ACROSSEE partners for the elaboration of WP3. This chapter presents the methodology for the elaboration of Action 3.1.9. It briefly describes the approach developed on the basis of the scope of the Action, as described in the previous chapter. 3.1 Considerations on methodology definition On the basis of several meetings and the proposal of the responsible partner for Action 3.1.9 (A.U.Th), several issues were defined to be addressed in the framework of this action. The most important issues were reflected in the questions, which deemed to have answers coming from the results of the other project activities, i.e. the transport model (WP4) and the cross borders analysis (WP5): Which are the obstacles for better regional accessibility and mobility? Which are the missing links, in terms of infrastructure and offered services? Which are the main feeder lines of the Core Network in the region? Which are the multimodal nodal points/ hubs of national and regional importance? Which are the bottlenecks? Furthermore, with relation to the above and the other actions of WP3, several other questions were formulated, in terms of providing their relevant outcomes in relation to: a) what’s expected in the various scenarios examined in WP4 (in terms of infrastructure

  • Chapter 21: Trans-European Networks
    Chapter 21: Trans-European networks The European Union policy concerning Trans-European Networks, based on Articles 170-172 of the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union, covers infrastructure in the areas of transport, telecommunications and energy. It aims at establishing and developing networks and ensuring their interconnections and interoperability. For transport (TEN-T) and energy (TEN-E), the following legislation makes up cornerstones: the regulation on TEN financial support (Reg. 680/2007 ) and the guidelines Decisions for TEN-T (661/2010) and for TEN-E (1364/2006). As far as transport network is concerned, the trans-European network contributes to a sustainable and multimodal development of transport and to the elimination of bottlenecks. In this regard, the transport networks play a significant role in ensuring a sustainable mobility, combining Europe’s competitiveness with the welfare of its citizens while securing the transports of good and passengers in Europe. Given the level of investments needed to complete and increase the trans-European networks and bearing in mind the estimated growth in traffic between Member States (according to the Commission's estimations expected to grow, between 2007 and 2020, by 42% for freight and 26 % for passenger traffic), a list of priority trans-national projects has been defined at the European level. Trans-European energy networks cover the transport and storage facilities of gas as well as the electricity transmission and make a significant contribution to the electricity and gas market. TEN-E respond to the growing importance for securing and diversifying the EU's energy supplies, incorporating the energy networks of the Member States and candidate countries, and ensuring the coordinated operation of the energy networks in the EU and in neighbouring countries.

  • Health Impact of Ambient Air Pollution in Serbia a CALL to ACTION
    Health impact of ambient air pollution in Serbia A CALL TO ACTION РЕПУБЛИКА СРБИJA Министарство заштите животне средине REPUBLIC OF SERBIA Ministry of Environmental Protection Republic of Serbia MINISTRY OF HEALTH Abstract This report, on a comprehensive investigation on the impact of air quality on health in Serbia, assesses the effects of air pollution on health in major cities. The results show that long-term exposure to air pollution leads to premature death for a relevant percentage of the population, and short-term exposure to air pollution increases mortality risk. The investigation collected data on air quality, the population and its health in 2010–2015. Levels of pollutants exceeding the values of the WHO air quality guidelines and the limits set by European Union legislation on air quality were recorded in several Serbian cities. The WHO AirQ+ software was used to calculate the proportion of deaths due to air pollution for the main Serbian cities. The analysis of the national data shows that nearly 3600 premature deaths every year are attributable to exposure to fine particulate matter measuring ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) in 11 studied cities in Serbia. Simulations of progressive reductions in current PM2.5 concentrations point towards major health benefits from improving air quality in the country. The results of this analysis indicate the importance of a reliable monitoring of air quality and the need for interventions to reduce the burden of air pollution in Serbia.

    ISSN 1330-3651 (Print), ISSN 1848-6339 (Online) https://doi.org/10.17559/TV-20171019124644 Preliminary communication Sustainable Railway Infrastructure and Specific Environmental Issues in the Republic of Serbia Milica VILOTIJEVIĆ, Mirjana VUKIĆEVIĆ, Luka LAZAREVIĆ, Zdenka POPOVIĆ Abstract: Transport represents both need and threat to the modern human society. European transport policy aims at sustainable transport development based on the efficient use of natural resources, protection and improvement of environment, as well as the real and diverse needs of potential users. The paper points out that the development of railway infrastructure is a necessary but not sufficient condition for shaping the sustainable mobility. Railway infrastructure has to meet the requirements of the society, economy, protection and improvement of the environment. In general, electrification of railways leads to reduction of the carbon footprint. On the other hand, thermal power plants in Serbia are the main suppliers of electric power. The results of previous geotechnical laboratory testing showed that investigated fly ash could be suitable for utilisation in the railway infrastructure. This paper presents the results of laboratory tests to determine the presence of radionuclides and trace elements in fly ash samples. Keywords: environment; fly ash; leaching; radionuclides; sustainable railway infrastructure; trace elements 1 INTRODUCTION Serbia. Furthermore, the specifics of 'modal shift to rail' transport concept and related environmental issues and The modern world is obliged to conduct a sustainable experiences are presented [20-23].
