Moreover, important activities within Entel’s scope include the projects related to the construction of plants for drinking water production through processing procedures, i.e., desalination of seawater. The execution of a contract for the preparation of design documentation for the construction of a plant intended for geological storage of drinking water, using the so-called ASR (“aquifer storage and recovery”) technologies shows the trust the client puts in Entel’s services. The mentioned technology implies the injection of drinking water into the appropriate aquifers in the soil, to form underground storage from which New drinking water storage project in Qatar water can be exploited when needed. of water injected into the underground Entel's team will face during the project The abovementioned project of Mega storage. implementation is the obligation to pre- tank construction, providing the storage The scope of services envisages the serve the long-term quality of ground- of a seven-day reserve of drinking water, preparation of design documentation for water, defining and implementing legal has been successfully completed.

Energoprojekt was founded in Belgrade on July 11, 1951. It has evolved from a small company for the design of hydro and thermal power plants, into a complex business system for design, consulting, engineering and execution of the most complex investment projects in the fields of energy production, transmission Construction of the highway E763 section Belgrade - South Adriatic, Serbia and distribution, transport infrastructure, This Monograph represents only a part of The growth and development of water management, environmental pro- the projects Energoprojekt successfully imple- Energoprojekt come from its professional- tection, building construction and industry. mented, giving evidence of its rich history. ism, high expertise, experience and selfless During seven decades of business These are numerous projects of hydro and commitment of its employees.

In the following decades, the growth and development had a variable intensity given the business conditions. The disintegration of former Yugoslavia, the imposition of UN sanctions on Serbia and its bombing in 1999 were just some of the challenges that Energoprojekt faced in the last decade of the twentieth century. Along with many problems in the country, it was necessary to overcome the significant changes in international markets caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union, the wars in Kuwait and Iraq, the recession in many countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia. At the beginning of the new millennium, when the certain political and socio-economic business conditions in the country were relieved, Energoprojekt strived to resume participation in domestic and foreign tenders, based on the pre- Design and construction of Forte Bank, Kazakhstan served financial potential and numerous

present for decades, by timely recognizing and adapting to changes through business and financial restructuring and new forms of market presence. Since 1991, the ownership transformation from social to private simultaneously took place with striving to maintain business activities at a viable level during the challenging years. Same as in many other spheres of business, Energoprojekt was a pioneer in privatization activities. Through the successful issues of equity securities listed on the "prime listing" of the capital market of Belex, the company finalized the privatization process with the majority private ownership in 2017. Using the state support to the economy in 2020, Energoprojekt realized its first issue of corporate bonds through a public offer-

The company also managed to overcome obstacles of the privatized banking system and, in one period, the lack of support from the state for the development of the domestic economy. Energoprojekt managed to strength- en the position, contracting activity and implementation of projects in the country and abroad thanks to expert leadership of the experienced management and the traditional commitment and expertise of its employees, using the positive changes in the state's attitude towards the domestic companies. The political and economic instability and strengthening of local companies in numerous foreign markets marked the seventh decade of business operations of Energoprojekt. The foreign governments provided various types of support or gave priority to local companies, and we notice the lack of similar support in the domestic market of that time. Moreover, due to the adverse effects of the COVID 19 virus pandemic outbreak, the last two years of the seventh decade mark a slowdown in the dynamics of the implementation of current projects and the conclusion of Consulting services for the construction of the first EfW cogeneration plant new deals.

The modern mobile protective panels can be installed very quickly, and they effectively protect the urban part of Paraćin. The well- trained workers can install such a protective fence in a few hours, from the moment when the alarm system, which is already functioning, announces a flood wave. The drill showed that a 378 meters long defensive line can be set up in a total of two hours. This system of mobile protection panels is an innovative flood defence solution that many European cities already apply. The application of such systems in flood defence has already begun in Serbia, and it will certainly be part of the defence solution in future projects, as the example of the city of Paraćin shows.
