EUROPEAN COMMISSION www.wbif.eu [email protected] 3 MONITORING REPORT Executive summary This report examines the composition of the portfolio, the progress achieved with the implementation of the grants awarded under the JGF and towards financing and realising supported projects. Over a period of 12 years WBIF has reached €1.4bn in grants, contributing to €22.4bn estimated investments in the Western Balkans. Net of cancellations, WBIF approved a total of is 361 grants for 210 projects. The grants maintain a reasonably balanced distribution per beneficiary, with Bosnia and Herzegovina (€312.4m) and Serbia (€225.6m) at the top of the ranking, followed by Montenegro (€194.9m), Kosovo* (194.3m), Albania (€188.3m) and North Macedonia (185.2m). By sector, transport is the dominating sector with €962.9m in grants, followed by energy with €246.9m and enviroment with €149.7m. Social infrastructure and private sector development are lagging behind with €52m and €8.5m respectively. Digital infrastructure is an eligible sector since December 2017 and received €8.5m for technical assistance. Most of the funding has been allocated for technical assistance (TA) and investment grants for infrastructure projects, with €311.5 (22% of total) and €1,007m (71% of total) respectively. Two investment facilities, the Western Balkans Enterprise and Innovation Facility (WB EDIF) and the Regional Energy Efficiency Programme (REEP and REEP Plus), have been put in place as well and benefited from €90.1 million in grants. The WBIF has also funded sector development studies and interest rate subsidies. The blending principle underpinning the success of WBIF has generated an increase in signed loans from lead IFIs, which reached a cumulative total of €6.5bn for €12.8bn investments at the end of 2020. The average financial leverage effect is 5x and varies from 3 to 24 times the grant component, depending on sector, beneficiary and project specifics. To date, 187 grants (48%) totalling €238m have been completed, 172 grants (44%) of €1,188m are ongoing, 2 grants (1%) of €2.1m are on hold pending decisions on their implementation, and 28 grants (7%) worth €25.4m have been cancelled. Of the 210 projects supported, 41 projects (20%) have been completed: 21 infrastructure projects for €913m investments and 20 studies worth over €14m. A further 62 projects (30%) for €9.5bn estimated investments are under implementation or tendering for works, and 107 projects (51%) for €12bn estimated investments are at various stages of preparation. __________________ *This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence. 4 Introduction The Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) is a regional blending platform supporting EU enlargement and socio- economic development in the Western Balkans through provision of financing for strategic investments. Established in 2009, it involves the European Commission (EC), 6 financial institutions (CEB, EBRD, EIB, KfW, WBG and AFD) and 20 bilateral donors. WBIF has become a major source of funding for infrastructure projects and development in the region and is the main vehicle for deployment of the investment package made available by the EC under the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans in October 2020. WBIF is a process of multilateral coordination that selects, prepares, implements and monitors a portfolio of priority projects. It provides funding by blending internationally funded grants with loans and domestic finance through the Joint Grant Facility (JGF) and the Joint Lending Facility (JLF). The JGF gathers grant resources and blends them with loans and other sources of financing from participating financial institutions. The JGF resources originate from the (i) European Western Balkans Joint Fund (EWBJF), which pools contributions from the EU's IPA programme, bilateral donors and EIB; (ii) IPA grant funding allocated by the EC for IPF technical assistance and 2008 IPF Municipal Window; and (iii) grant funding allocated by IFIs outside the EWBJF. The JLF is a source of loans and complements the JGF as the second pillar of the blended financing package offered by WBIF. The WBIF grants finance technical assistance and co-finance infrastructure projects. They are provided for specific projects where an IFI intends to co-finance the investment with a loan, with the exception of regional studies and investment facilities where other forms of financing are also available. Currently, six beneficiaries are eligible for WBIF support: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia. This latest monitoring report examines the composition of the portfolio, the progress achieved with the implementation of the grants awarded under the JGF and that towards financing and realising supported projects. The purpose of the report is to provide an overview of the WBIF portfolio to the members of the Project Financiers’ Group and to the Steering Committee. It looks yearly at what has happened in the implementation of the portfolio, but unlike an evaluation, it does not examine why something has occurred and does not issue recommendations. The strucuture of the report includes • an overview of the composition of the portfolio; • a review of the status and the use of the grants awarded under the JGF; • a review of the progress towards financing and implementation of projects under the JLF; • leverage, achieved and expected results of supported projects. The report reviews the status of the portfolio using information and data availbale in the WBIF MIS on 27 May 2021. All grant amounts include implementation fees. 5 MONITORING REPORT Overview of the portfolio The WBIF portfolio has developed through 30 rounds of grants awarded to finance project preparation, investment grants and incentives to financial intermediaries over 12 years. The WBIF portfolio consists of 361 grants of €1,428m which support 210 projects with a total estimated value of €22.4bn. The total number of grants approved is 389, but considering that 28 grants (7%) were cancelled after approval, the actual total is 361. The WBIF grants fund projects in six eligible sectors: digital infrastructure, energy, environment, social, transport and private sector development. Currently, six beneficiaries are eligible for WBIF support: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia. Croatia was eligible for WBIF grants until 1 July 2013.

Danijela Božanić Design and illustration: Tatjana Kuburovic COORDINATED BY: Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection 4 SERBIA’S FIRST NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLAN Introduction Climate change as a consequence of anthropogenic activities, primarily by means of increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere can now be unambiguously detected and quantified through measured changes in many aspects of the climate system. Based on numerous studies, analyzes and reports, it is clear that today broad agreement exists on the far-reaching consequences if the global community fails to achieve future changes within the limits necessary for continued development of our global society. The long-term goal of the international community is to limit the rise in mean global temperature to 2 ° C above pre-industrial levels by means of significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Observed climate changes lead to changes in the environmental, social and economic indicators, i.e. to changes in the overall conditions in which contemporary society lives across the globe and also in Serbia.

Abstract Detailed distribution pattern of colubrid snakes in Serbia is still inadequately described, despite the long historical study. In this paper, we provide accurate distribution of seven species, with previously published and newly accumulated faunistic records compiled. Comparative analysis of faunas among all Balkan countries showed that Serbian colubrid fauna is among the most distinct (together with faunas of Slovenia and Romania), due to small number of species. Zoogeographic analysis showed high chorotype diversity of Serbian colubrids: seven species belong to six chorotypes. South-eastern Serbia (Pčinja River valley) is characterized by the presence of all colubrid species inhabiting our country, and deserves the highest conservation status at the national level.
