  • 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.

The comparison is made on the basis of complex and modified indicators2, as of undeveloped local territorial units mutually, so with the republic average. The basic aims were presented in the final part of the paper, as well as the strategic measures for the development of settlements on these areas, with a suggestion of activating and valorisation of their spatial potentials. The main directions are defined through the strategic regional documents of Serbia and through regional policy of the European Union. Key words: population, activities, development, settlements, undeveloped areas, Serbia. Introduction The typology and categorisation of municipalities/territorial units with a status of the city, given in the Strategy of the Regional Development of the Republic of Serbia for the period from 2007 to 2012 (Official Register, no. 21/07) served as the basis for analysis and estimation of the settlements in undeveloped areas on the territory of the Republic of Serbia.

  • Territorial Organisation of the Republic of Serbia – Possibilities for Reform
    S A J _ 2015 _ 7 _ original scientific article approval date 30 10 2015 UDK BROJEVI: 342.25(497.11) 352.07(497.11) COBISS.SR-ID 221846796 TERRITORIAL ORGANISATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA – POSSIBILITIES FOR REFORM A B S T R A C T Current territorial organisation in Serbia was basically set during the 1960s. Great demographic and economic changes were not reflected in changes of legislation on territorial organisation. Such territorial organisation is a basis for a single-level and almost completely monotype local self-government system. After providing a detailed overview of legislation on territorial organisation and local self-government in the previous two centuries, the authors analyse the current system and attempt to outline possible lines of reform of territorial organisation. These proposals are viewed as a part of efforts towards greater decentralisation and establishment of a multi-level and/or polytype local self-government. Bogoljub Milosavljević KEY WORDS 401 Jelena Jerinić Union University Law School TERRITORIAL ORGANISATION LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENTS MUNICIPALITIES TOWNS DECENTRALISATION S A J _ 2015 _ 7 _ INTRODUCTORY REMARKS One of the significant issues which appeared during the work on the survey European Mayors – Political Leaders in European Cities, conducted in 20141 was the possibility of territorial changes, i.e. changes in the number of existing towns and municipalities, as well as strengthening inter-municipal cooperation. Since the problems of territorial organisation are in close relationship with the actual topic of decentralisation, this article focuses on them, while questions of inter-municipal cooperation are left for another appropriate occasion.

  • The Swiss Program Continues to Help Citizens and Local Governments in Serbia
    The Swiss program continues to help citizens and local governments in Serbia The co-financing program of 21 municipalities in Serbia for projects concerning the involvement of citizens in deciding on spending funds raised through property taxes is continuing. In accordance with the current circumstances, the epidemiological situation and the declaration of a state of emergency, the support implementation plan will be partially modified. A fund of 16.5 million dinars for projects proposed by local self-governments in consultation with citizens is available to municipalities as soon as they themselves say they are ready and ready to use it. “We know that priorities are different for all of us now. But after this, life should continue where it left off. Our proposal for the municipalities we work with is to involve citizens in this situation in the municipal decision-making process differently than they envisioned. They can do this electronically, through social networks, the municipality’s website, by direct telephone connection… We will support and assist municipalities in finding the best possible way in this situation”, says Dr. Branisav Milic, an expert on the Swiss Government’s program “Property Tax Reform”, which implements this municipal co-financing program. He added that the proposals submitted by the municipalities were divided into three groups, namely the development of a citizen’s guide to the budget and the budget portal, then support for projects for social and gender equality, as well as support for specific projects for which citizens submitted their proposals. “The largest number of municipalities, 13 of them, have decided to support projects for which citizens submit their proposals.
