Presentation Materials for Technical Training in Japan ii Capacity Development Project on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the Republic of Serbia Project Activity Completion Report Chapter 1 OVERVIEW 1.1 Background The Republic of Serbia ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a successor state of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and ratified the Kyoto Protocol in October 2007 (as a Non-Annex I Party) to tackle with global warming. The Republic of Serbia (hereinafter referred to as “Serbia”) also joined Japan’s Cool Earth Partnership in September 2009. Since greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from developing countries account for about half of the global GHG emissions, even if a significant emission reduction is achieved in developed countries, without effective GHG mitigations in developing countries, stabilization of GHG concentrations in the atmosphere will not be accomplished. And therefore, UNFCCC has been stipulating developing countries to take measures to minimize the adverse effects of climate change. Formulation of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) is an immediate priority in Serbia and developing countries. However, Serbia was facing barriers that prevented formulation of NAMAs. One of such barriers was considered to be the limited human resources in Serbia who have sufficient skills and experiences to develop and formulate effective NAMAs. To solve such problems and also to achieve GHG emission reduction at a national level by the year 2020, the Government of Serbia requested the Government of Japan in August 2009 for technical assistance for formulation of climate change mitigation measures and NAMAs. Upon this request, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) conducted a preparatory study in June and July, 2010, which identified the background and contents of the technical assistance. Cooperation program was then established and agreed between two governments. Record of Discussions (R/D) on the project was agreed on August 20, 2010, which was instituted with the Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection (MEDEP)* of Serbia as a counterpart agency (C/P) of this project. Oriental Consultants Co., Ltd. was entrusted by JICA and JICA Expert Team was dispatched to Serbia to conduct the “Capacity Development Project on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the Republic of Serbia” (herein after called the “Project”). * The name of the counterpart agency, Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP) has been changed to Ministry of Environment, Mining and Spatial Planning (MEMSP) in March, 2011, which has been changed to Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection (MEDEP) in July, 2012. 1-1 Capacity Development Project on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the Republic of Serbia Project Activity Completion Report 1.2 Objectives and Outputs Main objective of the Project is to enhance the capacity of staff and organization of Ministry of Energy, Development and Environmental Protection (MEDEP) and NAMA-related agencies in Serbia, so that MEDEP and NAMA-related agencies will be able to formulate and promote nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) in an efficient and effective manner. Overall goal and purpose of the Project have been agreed through the preparatory study as the followings: Overall Goal Serbian Government becomes capable of defining its contribution to climate change. Purpose Capacity to formulate and promote NAMAs is developed. Verifiable Indicators a) At least 3 people in Climate Change Division of MEDEP sufficiently understand process of NAMAs planning. b) At least 1 person in each organization participating in working group sufficiently understands process of NAMAs planning. c) Document containing NAMAs and descriptions necessary for their implementation is developed. Outputs 1. General understanding on NAMAs and measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) is enhanced. 2. Capacity to shortlist NAMAs which are measurable, reportable and verifiable is developed. 3. Capacity to produce documents to promote implementation of NAMAs is developed. 4. Capacity to promote recognition of NAMAs is enhanced. Project Design Matrix (PDM) and Plan of Operation (PO) of the Project have been modified after discussions with C/P, JICA and Joint Coordinating Committee (JCC) members. See Annex 1 for the latest version of PDM and PO. Major modification points on PDM are as follows. - Change in the name of C/P 1-2 Capacity Development Project on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in the Republic of Serbia Project Activity Completion Report - Modification of Objectively Verifiable Indicators - Addition of activities on development of the guideline related to developing NAMA Short Descriptions These modifications were approved by JCC in March 2012. (See Annex 4 of this Report for Minutes of JCC meetings)

  • ROADS of SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When You Want to Develop an Area, Equip It with Good Roads”, Prof
    INTRODUCTION ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE PE “ROADS OF SERBIA” ZORAN DROBNJAK “When you want to develop an area, equip it with good roads”, prof. dr Milan Vujanić says and I entirely agree with this. Interdependence of industry and roads is quite evident because roads, in addition to their main function concerning the transport of people and goods, also generate growth and development of all places through which the road network passes as well as all other which are indirectly connected with motorways and other important routes in the Republic of Serbia. Thus it is the main dedication of the PE “Roads of Serbia” to achieve what is expected from us – to successfully finish all investments and provide the same level of quality of all the roads in Serbia with constant increase of the level of traffic safety, with cordial assistance of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure. This is an imperative of our work, not only because of the expectations in front of us regarding the accession to the European Union, but also because good roads are one of the pillars of every serious and modern country. Road towards the achievement of big results starts with the devotion of individuals, each one of us. Owing to an exceptional devotion of the employees in the PE “Roads of Serbia”, achievement of the adopted plans is possible, regardless of the difficulties and not always favourable work conditions which the time sets upon us. Daily perseverance, devotion and openness of our employees to new knowledge and changes is obvious.

Ivo Andric . HIGHLIGHTS: New Beška Bridge is opened to traffic Зоран Стојисављевић, B.Sc. (C.E.) „Bigger investments – better roads” Gazela Bridge Rehabilitation Environmental Protection Lower tolls for vans Acknowledgement of the Tradition Preservation Huge Construction Undertaking On the occasion of works completion and opening to traffic the new bridge on the Danube at Beška, the Director General of the PE “Roads of Serbia”, Zoran Drobnjak, emphasizes: “I am proud that we have built one of the biggest and longest bridges in Europe. Even though we had big problems during construction because of the landslide occurrence on the right bank of the Danube and its remedy, we managed to build new bridge that is only five meters away from the existing one. Realization of these works is huge construction undertaking that requires great skills of everyone included in the construction of twin bridges over Beška. I congratulate everyone that contributed to the construction of this grand structure, which will be of use to the future generations and shall be in operation for the next 125 years”. Gazela Bridge Rehabilitation Works on the Gazela Bridge are in their final phase, which implies the bridge reconstruction on the main traffic route towards Novi Beograd. The works on pavement of the upstream side of the bridge were finished in the last three months in Šid- Niš direction and one half of the bridge was opened to traffic in its full width on July 18th.

    INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL "TRANS & MOTAUTO WORLD" WEB ISSN 2534-8493; PRINT ISSN 2367-8399 The future of the auto world in the COVID era Nataša Tomić- Petrović University of Belgrade, Serbia Abstract: The eco car of the year 2020 was the “Corolla HB” 1.8 HSD. The French made the original car, after the new "Peugeot 208", the base is the same as in the model "2008", which is 25 cm longer, the wheelbase is 2.6 meters and it is dominated by power. Its maximum speed is 198 kilometers/h. No one can compare to the French "lion". "Mercedes" announced that Formula 1 drivers will drive completely black cars instead of the "silver arrow" in the upcoming season, thus promising the fight against racism and increasing diversity in their champion team. The auditing company "Deloitte" claims that the automobile industry in the world is about to collapse due to the consequences of the Corona virus pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic is not subsiding, now Mexico and the Brazil are the most endangered. During the epidemic in Serbia in April this year, the production of motor vehicles and trailers decreased by 84%, and in Kragujevac based "Fiat" was faced not only with a lack of demand, but also with a lack of parts for production. During the state of emergency, truckers w ere particularly endangered and suffered heavy losses. Losses in the passenger domestic and international bus traffic were then estimated at 2 8 million euros. Despite the pandemic that reigns, "Renault" has confirmed its leading position on the European electric car market.
