Ministry of Environmental Protection of the Republic of Serbia, the administrative authority for the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), signed the agreement on the implementation of the regional project "Support to Eligible Parties to Produce the Sixth National Report to the CBD" funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) with UNEP office in Nairobi as the implementing agency. Serbian Environmental Protection Agency was appointed as project executing agency. The Sixth national reports to the CBD provides key sources of information from which final progress towards the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 will be reviewed. The above mentioned project also supported Parties to assess each national target using a stakeholder consultation process. The Environmental Protection Agency of the Republic of Serbia through the national CHM web portal invited all institutions, organizations and individuals to actively participate in the preparation of the 6th National Report. In addition, national consultations for preparation of the report were organized with the wide range of stakeholders and project experts. The report was done in accordance with national strategic documents using the methodology and templates for the preparation of the Sixth National Report (Decision CBD/COP/DEC/XIII/27). For the purpose of the Report more than 50 indicators were improved or developed to review progress in implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets. In Section II of the Report these indicators are grouped in relation to the strategic objectives and measures of the Nature Protection Programme, since the review of the requirements of the Convention on Biological Diversity and alignment of national targets with the Aichi Biodiversity Targets was done for this national planning document, althought it has not been adopted at the time of preparation of the Report. In Section III, assessment according to Aichi Biodiversiy Targets using measures taken at national level is presented. Global and national documents on the basis of which the Report was prepared are: 1. The Strategic Plan for biodiversity 2011 - 2020 and 20 Aichi Biodiversity Targets grouped in following five strategic areas: • Reduce the causes of loss of biodiversity through the integration of biodiversity into the activities of government and society; • Reduce direct pressure on biodiversity and promote sustainable use; • Improve the status of biodiversity by preserving diversity at all levels (ecosystem, species and genetic diversity); • Increase profits that biodiversity and ecosystem services provide • Improve implementation through participatory planning, knowledge management and capacity building. 2. Biodiversity Strategy of the Republic of Serbia for the period from 2011‒2018 was adopted in 2011 (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia”, No. 13/2011). The Biodiversity Strategy of the Republic of Serbia establishes basic principles for the conservation of biodiversity in Serbia. Four strategic areas defined in this strategy were: 1. Biodiversity conservation, 2. Protected area system, 3. Sustainable use of biodiversity, access and benefit sharing and economic valuation, 4. Policy, legal, institutional and financial frameworks for biodiversity conservation. Action Plan of the Biodiversity Strategy of the Republic of Serbia for the period 2011 - 2018 contains activities, responsible institutions and timeframes, as well as potential source of financial resources for implementation of the Strategy. In order to fulfill the obligations of the Convention on Biological Diversity, with a focus on Article 6 of the Convention and the Decision X/2, Ministry of Environmental Protection coordinated the revision of the Biodiversity Strategy of the Republic of Serbia for the period 3 2011 - 2018 within the framework of the GEF/UNDP project "National Biodiversity Planning to Support the implementation of the CBD 2011-2020 Strategic Plan in the Republic of Serbia". According to the Law on Nature Protection („Official Gazette RS“, No. 36/2009, 88/2010, 91/2010-corrections, 14/2016 and 95/2018- other low), the Nature Protection Strategy is a basic mechanism for the implementation of ratified international treaties on nature protection, setting out the long-term goals and measures for conservatin of biological and geological diversity and the manner of their implementation. The Strategy sets out the long-term planning framework and policies of integrated nature protection, including the biodiversity conservation, landscapes and geological heritage. It is defined that this strategy particularly includes the principles and general goals, the assessment of the situation, specific objectives and implementing activities, and possible sources of funding. Newly adopted Law on the Planning System of the Republic of Serbia („Official Gazette RS“, No. 30/2018) regulates national planning system and in accordance with this law, Nature Protection Programme of the Republic of Serbia for the period 2019 – 2021 will be prepared. This document will includes chapters on biodiversity conservation (the revised Biodiversity Strategy of the Republic of Serbia for the period from 2011‒2018), landscapes and geological heritage is in the process of alignment with newly adopted Law on the Planning System of the Republic of Serbia. 3. Nature Protection Programme of the Republic of Serbia for the period 2019 - 2021: the proposal elaborates one general and four specific objectives for nature protection in the Republic of Serbia as well as concrete measures and indicators: General objective: Improving the nature protection system Specific objectives: Objective 1. Biodiversity protection Objective 2. Improvement of the system of protected areas and ecological networks Objective 3. Sustainable use of natural resources Objective 4. Enhancing public policy and public participation in decision-making 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The main objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) are the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources, including by appropriate access to genetic resources and by appropriate transfer of relevant technologies. Republic of Serbia is a Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity from 2002, and also Party to both the Cartagena and Nagoya protocols. According to the Article 26 of CBD (Reports), each Contracting Party shall provide to the Conference of the Parties, periodic reports on measures which it has taken for the implementation of CBD and the effectiveness in meeting the objectives of the Convention. So far Serbia published five national Reports. This Report describes progress in implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets since 5th report. Moreover, the Report provides information on pressures, threats and current status of biodiversity components (genetic resources, species and ecosystems) in Serbia. The assessment was performed using more than 50 indicators which were improved or developed for the purpose of this report to review of progress in the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and towards the Aichi Biodiversity Targets: • indicators of environmental change (air and water pollution indicators, climate change indicators) • indicators of population dynamics (population size trends of some top predators, invasive alien species and pest species that are disease vectors) and • indicators of ecosystem and habitat heterogeneity • indicators of effectiveness in implementation of CBD in Serbia (indicators of effectiveness in combating illegal killing, trapping and trade of wild species, indicators of ex situ and in situ conservation as well as indicators of information share and establishment of an integral national information system for biodiversity with a database (INISB) • indicators of protected areas, habitats changes and management effectiveness • indicators of ecological network and habitats changes • indicators of landscape and habitats changes • indicators of sustainable use of forests • indicators of sustainable use of non-wood products • indicators of fresh water fishing and game animals hunting • indicators of renewable energy production and resources

The fish genera Gasterosteus, Hucho, Oxynoemacheilus, Salmo, and Schizothorax are examples of these groups among vertebrates, and the genera Magnibursatus (Trematoda), Margaritifera, Potomida, Microcondylaea, Leguminaia, Unio (Mollusca), and Phagocata (Planaria), among invertebrates. There is reason to believe that their ancestors spread to Europe through the Paratethys (or the proto-Paratethys basin that preceded it), where intense speciation took place and new genera of aquatic organisms arose.

  • Unhcr Serbia Update
    09-15 OCT 2017 UNHCR SERBIA UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS AND STATISTICS . On 15 October, 4,275 new refugees, asylum-seekers and migrants were counted in Serbia, of which 3,855 were housed in 18 governmental centres (below chart as well as our Joint Assessment of Government Centres refer). Authorities made further excellent progress in school-enrolment: Some 85% of 7-14 year old refugee, asylum- seeking and migrant children attended classes, of which 430 attended public primary schools while some 70 were schooled inside the Transit Centres (TCs) of Sombor, Subotica or Kikinda. Some efforts are also being made to enrol children over 14 years of age into secondary schools. During the week, the authorities closed all remaining temporary emergency shelters (rub-halls and tents) in the TCs of Adasevci, Principovac, Sombor and Kikinda, and relocated all men and boys who had been accommodated therein into more solid long-term shelters. Additionally, they transferred some 50 unaccompanied and separated boys, who had been accommodated in Adasevci TC, to Krnjaca Asylum Centre (AC) and 112 men and boys who were camping outside centres near Sid to the Presevo Reception Centre (RC). UNHCR and partners continued assisting high numbers of 244 newly arrived asylum-seekers (compared to 272 last week). Sample profiling of a group of 118 new arrivals in Belgrade, showed that 40% were women and children and 60% men, that most fled Iraq (29%) or Afghanistan (24%) only one-three weeks ago and reached Serbia through Bulgaria (59%) and/or fYR Macedonia (35%). On 10 October, on the occasion of the World Mental Health Day, UNHCR partner Psychosocial Innovation Network (PIN) presented its Study on mental health of refugees in Serbia to partners and the media (for more details please see PIN's FB post.) .

Syrphidae, Episyrphus balteatus, distribution, abundance, seasons, forest edges, landscape Abstract. We studied the importance of forest structure (shape, edge length and orientation) and the crop mosaic (percentage of crops in the total land cover, within 100 and 2000 m from the forests) to the dynamics of an aphidophagous hoverfly Episyrphus bal- teatus. Adults were collected by Malaise traps located within and on the south- and north-facing edges of 54 forests. In winter, E. balteatus was only found on south-facing edges because of the greater insolation and temperature. In summer, it was more abundant on north-facing edges because of the abundant presence of flowers. In spring, more adults were found on long and south-facing edges than on northern edges. The presence of shrubs within 2000 m also positively affected abundance. In autumn, abundance was positively associated with length of the north-facing edge and forest shape. Emergence traps revealed that in southern France, E. bal- teatus may overwinter in the larval or puparial stage in forest edges. Overwintering was earlier reported only in adults. Landscape structure, length of forest edges and probably presence of shrub fallows, influence abundance of Episyrphus balteatus. INTRODUCTION farmed landscape are area, floristic composition and also Because most of the natural enemies of crop pests do the shape of the largest features (Nentwig, 1988; not carry out their complete life cycle in cultivated fields, Molthan, 1990; Thomas et al., 1992).

Introducció La papallona del boix (Cydalima perspectalis) és un insecte lepidòpter pertanyent a la família Crambidae, d’origen asiàtic (natiu de la Xina, el Japó i les Corees) que pot provocar la mort dels boixos quan les defoliacions i afectacions a l’escorça persisteixen en els temps (períodes continuats de més de 3 anys). Aquest lepidòpter es va detectar per primer cop a Catalunya l’any 2014 a Besalú(La Garrotxa) i s’ha anat dispersant per les comarques limítrofs (Ripollès, Osona, La Selva); també s’ha detectat a indrets del sud de Catalunya i a la Vall d’Aran. Aquesta plaga és, a Catalunya, especifica del boix (Buxus sempervirens), arbust molt utilitzat en jardineria i planta molt comú en l’estrat arbustiu de masses forestals. És per aquest motiu que aquest Pla d’acció afronta de forma diferenciada però coordinada, aquestes dues vessants del boix, d’una banda l'àmbit dels planters, jardineria i espais verds urbans i per l’altra l'àmbit forestal del medi natural, tot i que en certs àmbits es comparteixen característiques dels dos àmbits.
