Main potential of the City of Smederevo is its very characteristic micro position, that is, exceptionally favorable geographic location between two European corridors – the land one X – the highway, and the water one – VII – the Danube. This advantage should be exploited to the maximum from the local viewpoint. The City of Smederevo occupies mildly ruffled lowland of the southern edge of Pannonian Basin in the furthest northeast part of Šumadija. The territory of the City of Smederevo belongs to the Danube Basin and to the lower Morava River Basin. It spreads immediately before the confluence of Great Morava and the Danube, whereas by its major part it belongs (in hydrographic sense) to the Great Morava Basin. The total surface area of the City of Smederevo is 484 km². The most important, and exceptionally favorable natural advantage of Smederevo in comparison to other neighboring cities but also with others in Danube Region is actually the strategically most convenient geographical – traffic location since it possesses the

2.5 History, tradition and cultural heritage

The name of Smederevo was first recorded in the Charter of the Byzantine Emperor Vasilije II from 1019, in the part related to the Eparchy of Brani čevo in Ohrid Bishopry. Another written record is found in the Charter of the Duke Lazar from 1381 by which he bestowed the Monastery of Ravanica and villages and properties ’to the Great Bogosav with the commune and heritage’’.

The City of Smederevo is located along the direction of Roman border ( Limes) and the Road of Constantinople which through the past significantly defined its importance and role in historical events. As such, this place has the continuity from pre-history, through the Greek and Roman period and Middle Ages until modern times. There are several sites in and around the City to witness the rich cultural heritage of the Smederevo region.

Smederevo gained particular importance at the beginning of the 15th century, during the reign of Despot Đura đ Brankovi ć, when it became the last capital of Serbian medieval state and the center of religious and economic life. The Smederevo Fortress was built and its walls still stand today to witness the dynamic past of the city but also the importance of Smederevo who had at that time already overcome local and regional dimension. Smederevo became the center at the crossroad of civilizations where the influences of the East and the West intertwined.

The Fortress is located on the right bank of the river Danube, at the confluence of the river Jezava anther Danube. The inner space occupies 11 ha and its wider surrounding meets urban structures. It was built after the model of the Fortress of Constantinople, as a defense fortification and represents one of the largest fortresses in Europe. After its fall in Turkish hands, Smederevo maintained its wide regional importance as a center of “sandžak” until 1521. During 16th and 17th century it developed into an oriental town. By the end of the 17th century, during Austrian-Turkish wars, the town went from the hands of one warring party to another. It was devastated and economically declined. During Austrian rule, Smederevo was the center of the district. Str. 12

In the restored Serbian state, Smederevo had a major role, first of all as a Soviet center from 1805-1807, but also as a developed urban settlement, trade center and the capital of Smederevo “nahija”. During the whole of the 19th and the 20th century, it had its place among the most developed towns of Serbia using its potentials sometimes more, sometimes less. We will not specify here each and every resource, value, cultural and historical heritage and spiritual offer of Smederevo, but will support the general understanding and conclusion that Smederevo represents the center of Serbian culture which gives it a spiritual and cultural importance which rather overcomes the local and regional dimension. Cultural heritage and spiritual significance of Smederevo should be the subject of attention and synchronized revalorization and active inclusion of this area into the flows of spatial, economical and cultural integrations.

3 Natural resources 3.1 Relief

Its location on the bank of the Danube with considerable area with light slopes means that the relief of the City of Smederevo does not represent the limiting factor of space utilization. The exceptions are unstable terrains on the Danube bank and the ones with erosions. The best geomorphological conditions for the development of industry, agriculture and settlement are on the alluvial planes of large rivers, on their mild valley sides and on tops of elevated areas between river valleys. The City territory is clearly divided to the rivers Great Morava and Ralja valley bottoms and lower flow of the Konjska River and higher area in the central and western part of the City of Smederevo. 3.2 Hydrography The main hydrographic characteristic of the City of Smederevo is the presence of two major rivers, the Danube and Great Morava. The flow of the Danube is 20 km long creating thus the northern City border, while Great Morava is the eastern border. Hydrographically, the major part of the City territory belongs to Great Morava basin. In the alluvial planes of Morava and Danube, there is enough water, but the most serious problem is its quality, not quantity. The Danube has the flow of 5490 m³/s, and Great Morava 260 m³/s.

Danube and Great Morava Great Morava confluence with the Danube 3.3 Lend The City of Smederevo covers 48,400 ha. The land of better quality can be found on the higher and porous terrains along the bottom of the valley of the Great Morava valley and on the lower and flatter terrains of Šumadija hills. Lower quality land lies closer to Str. 14

Great Morava and on the terrains with larger inclines in the western part of the City. It can be concluded that the area of the City of Smederevo belongs to the most fertile ones in Serbia. The best quality land of the first and second class makes 15.8% out of the total area, the third and the fourth makes 64.3% of the land, that is, two thirds of the territory of the City of Smederevo is an exceptionally valuable agrarian potential. Natural resources of Smederevo are convenient for agriculture and comprise 78.78% of the surface area which is above average for the Republic of Serbia.

3.4 Mineral potentials Considerable accumulations of young sediments create worth development potential. Regarding mineral raw material, there are confirmed deposits of low caloric coal, clay, gravel and sand. In surface layers, there are substantial reserves of gravel, sand and clay and they represent one of the largest deposits in this part of Serbia. On higher hilly terrains of Šumadija, there are also reserves of building stone.

3.5 Forest potential Woods occupy 3,6% of the total territory , which is much lower in comparison with republic (22%), or regional value. Total area under woods and woodland is 1.700 ha. Woods in private property occupy 1.190 ha. Woods on the territory of the City of Smederevo belong to the area of wide-spread wood with different types of oak.

4.13 Migration of population

For many years, Smederevo has been under the impact of migratory movements of people moving in from different parts of the country. The latest figures show that 49.6% of the population lives on the City territory moved in, which means that only slightly more than half is autochthonous population. Motives for moving in have varied. They have been economical, social or political which certainly include psychological and moral motives. The settlement reasons also vary: the main reason has been a developed economical base and the beginning of industrialization, but also wide openness of Smederevo towards the south, along the valley of Great Morava, immediate vicinity of Belgrade as a leading center, etc.

6.17 Industrial zones and industrial parks

6.17.1 List of industrial zones and companies in industrial zones 1. The industrial zone of the U.S. Steel is located 7 km southeast from the City, is at the same time the most significant pole of the City development, connected with the production of raw iron and steel, that is, a ferrous metallurgy segment. It encompasses an area of around 300 ha, with high values of techno economical and spatial characteristics in terms of water consumption (it has its own source of drinking water), waste water quantities (which are disposed through the collector into the river Ralja), electrical energy consumption (developed long-distance pipe line net), high-volume of incoming and exiting loads (within the zone there is a railway station) with a very prominent position in the system of production links in the republic and recently more and more trans regional spatial dimension. At the above location, there is a production of industrial and medical gases in the enterprise ’MESSER-Tehnogas’. Specific type, quantities and production method within the zone creates intensive ecological pressure on all environment elements, wherefore it is an area where the environment is highly endangered. 2. The industrial zone west from the center – a traditional zone of the Old Steel Works with the surface of 21 ha, is also of mono structural character and with high technical and economical advantages. During the first initial development phases, it was an important agglomerative element in the spatial City structure, but with time it became a bottleneck of the development in permanent conflict with surrounding content and obstacle to the more complex and adequate development of the Danube basin. Therefore, its purpose of production and industrial function should be changed into a tourist-cultural content through elaboration of various models of cultural projects.

3. The industrial zone in the field of Godomin, northeast from the City, is divided into several sub-zones. It is, actually, a trade zone which is not sufficiently rounded space- wise, with incomplete content but with great spatial and developmental capacities. The word industrial in the title comes from the initial and still predominant industrial activities in the zone. According to its position, content, observed problems and developmental capacities, the following sub-zones stand out: (1) the existing industrial zone with the surface of 101.3 ha where the most industrial enterprises are located, diversified in their structures: household appliances production (’Milan Blagojevi ć’), machines for production and exploitation

Str. 48

of mechanical energy (’Uniteh’), machines for special purposes (’Fagram’), clothing items production (’Uno Martin’) and other, but there are also other economic activities – traffic, handcraft trades, wholesale trade and storaging and others (’Lasta’, ’Zmaj’, ’NIS’, ’Dunav’ etc.). There are spatial potentials within the existing individual locations of industrial enterprises but there are also limitations to further development related to the ecological aspect, first of all, to the disposal of waste technological and sanitary waters and to ensuring the underground water optimum level; (2) sub-zone ’Šalina čki put’ , surface area of 15 ha, where parceling is taking place at the moment, which will, together with infrastructure equipment and traffic connection, represent a significant potential with the main orientation towards the development of small and large enterprises. That implicitly includes clear definition of production programs coordinated with ecological capacities of the area additionally stressed by existence of water-springs and water-supply enterprises nearby; (3) sub-zone located along the main road of industrial zone has multipurpose character with the total area of 36.86 ha. On the right side, in the direction of the connection with the Bridge of Kovin (surface area of 20.56 ha) there are structures of communal activities and other. On the left side, on the Danube bank, there are reloading locations of separation (9 ha) and construction company ’Jugovo Company’ (7.3 ha). In this location with great development possibilities, there are problems related to land ownership and unsolved hydro technical measures related to maintenance of underground water level and similar.

Besides distinctive sub-zones, in the wider spatial context of this industrial/trade zone, there is a location (10.8 ha) within which the industrial activity of transportation unit production is takes place, with relatively sufficient space reserves for further development but also present ecological limitations.

4. New industrial zone and industrial park - The realization of the project of infrastructural equipping of the new industrial zone (84 ha) is in due course, the detailed regulation plan has been adopted, and property issues settlement as well as layout development is in progress with the support of the National Investment Plan.

8 Public resources

8.1 Traffic infrastructure

Regarding traffic development, the City of Smederevo has a number of convenient conditions in almost all traffic aspects. Many traffic lines important for Europe, Republic, Region and Municipality itself cross here. The most important component is vicinity of two important European traffic corridors, the land one - X and the water one - VII. This fact adds to the quality and enables multimodality of traffic aspects which provide an additional developmental opportunity for Smederevo as a regional center of Serbia. Traffic significance of Republic values, besides European ones, is provided by other arterial connections, especially the road M-24 or ’Banat direction’, and railway line of prime relevance with an important hub in Mala Krsna.

Str. 56

8.1.1 Road infrastructure

Smederevo confirms its traffic legality of regional importance, beside mentioned corridors, with the regional road lines: R109, R100, R109b and R214, R202, R214. Regional line M1.10 is also important. The City of Smederevo is one of few Serbian cities with transit roads away from urban center. All these traffic characteristics enable favorable development of the villages around Smederevo. The basis of the road infrastructure in the City of Smederevo consists of regional and local roads and the section of the arterial road, along which both urban and suburban traffic take place. Transit traffic takes place on the highway E-75 which divides the municipal territory to northern and southern part, along arterial road M-24 and on the roundabout route. The total length of the arterial, regional and local roads in the territory of the Smederevo is 221 km. The City of Smederevo is characterized by the developed network of the arterial and regional roads and solid network of local roads. In conclusion, Smederevo is, thanks to the traffic position, a European city, an important Republic center, and regional center. Particular investments are expected for the Port of Smederevo, railway line and the hub of Mala Krsna, modernization and equipment of Highway with its supporting contents, reconstruction and modernization of regional roads and conception of air-traffic. At the local level, the following investment priorities should be underlined: investments in the city traffic network with a particular priority on the bus station and railway station, main city communications, investments in stationary traffic (car park arrangements), as well as in public urban transportation, local roads, especially their modernization and other.

8.1.2 Rail transportation and infrastructure Railway traffic is a significant municipal traffic system element. Almost all railroad ranks are present in the system. Thus, main direction is the railway line E-85 Belgrade- Mala Krsna-Niš, which divides the City to two parts, north and south one. The railroad is of the highest technological level in the country and connects Smederevo to Europe and the development backbone in the Republic, corridor X. The railway hub Mala Krsna is one of the most perspective in the Republic. Through it, the spur track connects Smederevo to the East of the Republic, direction Požarevac – Bor and the City of Smederevo. The City of Smederevo has 1.7 railway stations per 100 km², while Republic has 0.8. In the Republic, the density of the railroad network is 4.3 km/100 km², while that indicator for the City of Smederevo is 11.8. In the economic sense, the railway traffic is the strongest traffic branch of economy and in the late 80-ies around 50% of the employees in the traffic branch was employed at the railway system. The future image and development opportunity of Smederevo in the railway traffic is the announced modernization of the railway traffic in the Republic and realistically planned connection Pan čevo-Kovin-Mala Krsna which would promote Smederevo into even more important railway hub and relieve Belgrade hub. The railway hubs consist of seven stations: Smederevo, Radinac, Mala Krsna, Osipaonica, Skobalj, Vranovo and Kolari, and six stops: Godomin, Vranovo, Osipaonica, Lugav čina, Skobalj and Ralja.

8.1.3 Air traffic

Str. 58

This aspect of traffic is also regarded as a development potential since there is a development center in one, now sport – tourist airport. Its perspective is especially seen in a very favorable position in relation to the position of other development points of port, railway station and whole industry. This airport can very quickly grow into a tourist – business airport with maintained sport and agricultural role.

8.1.4 River traffic

The importance of this traffic aspect in the City of Smederevo has coordinated intensity. Although it has had a decisive importance for the locations of some strategic economic capacities in developmental and traffic sense, its present role is less than what is possible in the future. The passenger port issue is a current topic in regard to tourism development as well as an adequate treatment of the freight port. Infrastructure of the river traffic of the City of Smederevo consists of Danube waterway, old port, marina, new port, terminal for liquid “Jugopetrol” loads, as well as smaller piers (gravel pits) which are located along the bank in the industrial zone. The port is registered for international traffic and is located in the very center of the City. It has reloading capacities which can realize 1.5 millions of freight tons a year. The Municipality has significant development options in the area of river traffic, freight and passenger alike.

8.2.1 Water and sewage Water reticulation

- 300 km of water reticulation in the City and residential areas - 70,000 inhabitants connected (coverage is 63.74%) - Annual water production – 8,666,895 m³ (271 l/s) Sewerage reticulation

- 150 km of sewerage reticulation - 50,000 inhabitants connected (coverage 45.50 %) - Estimated discharge annually – 4,602,326 m³ (146 l/s)

Str. 59

Atmosphere sewerage

- exists in the City and some residential areas distant from sanitary water, but not sufficient - it is constantly being improved In the City of Smederevo , there are preparations and realization of large projects in the field of water supply and collecting and processing waste waters, such as: extending water and sewerage reticulation, construction of tank and pump stations for improvement of water supply of 2nd and 3d elevation zones has been completed, construction of the central City collector is in progress as well as construction of the central plant for waste water purification.

8.2.2 District heating Public Communal Enterprises "Housing and the heating system" attend to the thermal energy supplies for households and businesses. In the system there are 12 block boiler-rooms with 28 boiler plants. 4,499 users (flats and households) are connected to the distant heating system as well as 9,017 users (business premises). Boiler plants are being converted to use gas instead of mazut. The City is supplied with natural gas through the arterial gas line Pan čevo- Smederevo with the designed capacity of 140 million m³. Gas line is considered not sufficiently exploited in the economic system and the City primary and secondary reticulation construction is in progress.

8.2.3 Power infrastructure

Electrical energy supply of the City of Smederevo is carried out by the EPS transmission system through long-distance pipelines from Đerdap Hydro-electric power plants, thermo-electric power plants near Morava and Kostolac. They all make electric power system of the Republic. System maintenance and development is performed by the enterprise ’Elektromorava’ with the registered office in Požarevac. The main starting points are based on the following:

- powerful transmission reticulation with pipelines of different voltage levels which adequately cover main consumer zones of the City of Smederevo and the U.S.S. Serbia, and sub-stations TS ’Smederevo 3’ 400/220/110 kV, TS ’Smederevo 1 and 2’ 110/35 and EBP Vodanj; - relatively good distribution network whose parts and TS 10/0.4 kV require reconstruction and updating;

9 Environment

Quality of the environment of the City of Smederevo is one of the imperatives of its future development, especially in the dynamics of its realization. Smederevo has to abandon its former concept of priority development of low accumulative economic activities and generally (strategically) it has to give preference to ecological component, thus supporting generally accepted principle of sustainable development. The Municipality of Smederevo made and adopted LEAP in 2007. In this way, local authorities will be more prepared, as far as ecology is concerned, to approach European standards and at the same time development funds and loans. 9.1 Air quality (pollution) The largest air pollution is created by the U.S.S. Serbia which emits vast amounts of polluting substances from its emitters and from its ore and secondary raw material stock piles .The most endangered residential areas are in the immediate vicinity of U.S.S. Serbia, that is, Radinac, Vranovo, Mala Krsna and Ralja. In collaboration with the city authorities and the Ministry for Environmental Protection and Spatial Planning the certain measures for reducing pollution are being taken. Up till now, U.S.S. Serbia has invested more than 60 million dollars into environmental protection equipment. Air pollution in Smederevo stems from heating also,i.e. boiler and heating house and individual heating. Boiler houses are located around the whole city and as such they are irrational. Coal, masout, fuel oil are used as heating generating products. Elaborate for constructing Central Heating Plant for gas is under way. Besides U.S.S. Serbia and heating houses, considerable amount of pollution comes from traffic. Traffic pollution is especially the problem along the motorway and in the City of Smederevo. Specific relief and the winds are conducive to a better air quality in the Sumadia part of Smederevo territory. 9.2 Soil quality Irrational use of pesticides and compost in agriculture, as well as pollution from wastewater and depots represent a threat to the soil in Smederevo territory. At the moment, systematical soil analysis and education of agriculture manufacturers are being carried out by the Institute for Agriculture Smederevo,so as to reduce negative effects on the quality of valuable soil potentials.

9.3 Water quality Water pollution is a large problem of the City of Smederevo. From the location of the Old Steel Works and industrial zone, waste water is dumped into the Danube and U.S.S. Serbia dumps waste water into the river Ralja. Almost none industrial plant has an efficient device for waste water treatment. The realization of constructing the city facilities for wastewater purification is underway, as well as the construction of the main collector through the financial means of National Investment Plans and City budget.

9.4 Solid waste management Public utility ’Komunalac’ takes away the rubbish from the whole territory of the City of Smederevo in an organized way. Total number of inhabitants covered with this service is around 70,000 with the tendency of increase. The rubbish is regularly taken to the City waste-dump in an organzed way. Str. 66

The realization of the regional sanitary landfill construction design is in progress in co-operation with Republic and strategic partners, as well as improvement of sanitary conditions of the existing waste-dump.

10 Travel Tourism is a perspective development opportunity of the municipality complementary with other economic branches. Closely connected with the tourist economy there is an issue of strategic orientation of Smederevo in the direction of European integration, which is in line with established demetropolization principles in all areas as one of the spatial development principles of Serbia. 10.1 Number of visitors

Two most significant corridors of the European rank – corridor VII and corridor X motorway pass through the territory of the Smederevo Municipality. Corridor X – motorway has been elaborated separately – Spatial plan of the infrastructural corridor X adopted by the government of the Republic of Serbia – Decree about Spatial Plan consolidation for the area of the infrastructural corridor of the motorway E-75, section Belgrade-Niš (’The Official Herald of RS’, No. 69/03). Since there are already three exits – entries to the motorway in the territory of the Smederevo Municipality: Petrijevo, Kolari and Ralja, the new ones are not planned. The mentioned Plan determines corridors required for infrastructure development – traffic, railway, gasline, optical cable corridor, protective belts are defined and rules of arrengment accepted by the Spatial Plan of the Municipality of Smederevo and defined in more details by making regulation plans in these belts. It is worth mentioning that the Spatial Plan of the corridor X includes almost 2/3 of the total territory of the Municipality of Smederevo in order to more clearly define borders of the Plan which was sent to all cadastral municipalities included in the Plan.

In this way we have defined provisions of the plan of higher order that are main entry data of higher level in strategic planning of local economic development of the City of Smederevo.
