The first results of the 2011 Census in Serbia depict a rather bleak demographic situation, which is only the continuation of population trends from the late 20th and beginning of the 21st century, substantially fuelled by dynamic political and socioeconomic processes featuring Serbia in the past few decades. The focus is on demographic changes in relation to three correlated aspects: 1) intensive ageing process; 2) depopulation and negative natural growth; and 3) migratory movements - population exodus. This paper addresses in particular the spatial consequences and institutional aspects of recent demographic changes and their reflection on urban areas in Serbia. In the past, population movements from rural to urban areas used to colour much of the migratory balance map of the country, however this situation changed due to exhaustion of the ‘traditional’ demographic reservoirs. Still, urban primacy of the capital city Belgrade has been even intensified with the recent demographic movements, or more precisely, a tissue of the two largest cities in relative proximity - Belgrade and Novi Sad is hypertrophied in a demographic sense.

  • Council of Europe European Landscape Convention
    COUNCIL OF EUROPE EUROPEAN LANDSCAPE CONVENTION National Workshop on the implementation of the European Landscape Convention in Bosnia and Herzegovina Drawing landscape policies for the future Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina 25-26 January 2018 SESSION 1 SERBIA Mrs Jasminka LUKOVIC JAGLICIC Director Advisor, Regional Economic Development Agency, Sumadija and Pomoravlje The role of the Regional Economic Development Agency for Sumadija and Pomoravlje in the process of the implementation of the European Landscape Convention at regional and local level The Regional Economic Development Agency for Sumadija and Pomoravlje was founded in 2002 as the partnership between public, civil and private sectors, with the purpose of planning and management of equal territorial development. The Law on Regional Development (adopted in July 2009, “Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia”, No. 51/2009, 30/2010 and 89/2015) defined the competence and area of intervention of regional development agencies for planning of development processes at regional level, applying the principles of broad stakeholder participation, inter-municipal and cross-sector approach in identifying problems and measures to address them. REDASP consistently applies these principles in its work on the one hand and has the ratification of the European Landscape Convention on the other hand. Thus the Republic of Serbia has recognised the landscape as an essential component of the human environment and agreed to 1). establish and implement a set of policies aimed at the protection, management and planning of the area and 2). to establish procedures for involvement of the wider public, local and regional authorities, as well as other landscape policy stakeholders.

  • Potentials of Renewable Energy Sources in the Republic of Serbia
    POTENTIALS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA WITH A DETAILED REVIEW OF THE EXPLOITATION OF GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES IN THE AUTONOMOUS PROVINCE OF VOJVODINA Zoran Stipi ć City of Subotica Urban Planning Institute, Trg Republike 16, Subotica, Serbia [email protected] Slobodan Vidovi ć Tehnoproing , Gogoljeva 13,Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected] Mom čilo Spasojevi ć Faculty of Technical Sciences, Trg D.Obradovi ća 6, Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected] Abstract: Energy supply is one of the basic issues in the contemporary world’s sustainable development. By adopting the Kyoto Protocol and implementing its mechanisms, it is expected that the use of conventional energy sources shall stabilise and decrease on global level. The European Union’s legal framework, through its appropriate directives, sets very clear objectives for the use of renewable energy sources for member states. Serbia is a country with significant potentials in renewable energy sources, which are, regretfully, underused. Renewable energy source potentials are featured by very favourable indicators in matters of both capacity and distribution. The status is especially favourable in the field of geothermal energy potentials in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, situated in the Pannonian Basin, where there are significant sources of this fuel. The paper presents the basic forms and characteristics of renewable energy sources in Serbia and provides an overview of the possibilities for their use. Key words: Renewable energy sources, potentials, capacities, resources, geothermal energy, Serbia, Vojvodina. 1. INTRODUCTION Solving global energy problems implies an interdisciplinary approach and considering the issues from different perspectives. Decreasing overall energy consumption, increasing energy efficiency, modernising the installation, using alternative energy sources and adopting and implementing a number of legal regulations and international covenants are the points of departure in solving this exceptionally complex issue.
