ASSESMENT
The largest progress is significant increase in wood areas, and their putting under protection. The work on creation of the National Ecological Network, creation of rules, data bases and red books, represent significant steps forward in the last 10 years.

In the last 50 years, a significant trend in increasing the wood land surface - 75 % from 1953 -2006. A large number of important wood ecosystems in Serbia was put under protection.
9 Ramsar areas in Serbia (Wetlands habitats of international importance, especially as the habitat of wetland birds –Ramsar Convention). Large number of wetlands and wet habitats is put under protection.

Goal 6. Control threats from invasive alien species
Target 6.1: Pathways for major potential alien invasive species controlled
Target 6.2: Management plans in place for major alien species that threaten ecosystems, habitats or species
 
ASSESMENT
The issue of suppressing and control of the invasive species is not resolved systematically in Serbia. Apart from legal regulations which regulate the control and suppression of invasive species spreading, actions aimed at removal of the invasive species are still rare.

Trends in invasive alien species
|
The Law on Nature Protection Law from 2009 and Law on Environmental Protection from 2004 regulate the control and prevention of invasive species protrusion
In the forestry, agriculture and fishery sectors, the invasive species are determined, and so are the measures to control their entry
Rules are made of the Lists of harmful organisms and Llists of Plants, Plant Products and Prescribed Fauna Facilities (Official Gazette RS, 07/10)
The work on Strategy for Prevention of Invasive Species Spreading is being carried out
Legal or systems solution for extermination of the invasive species does not exist, but only some single cases of fight against the invasive species at some protected land entities, and/or extermination of ambrosia in some smaller areas in Serbia.
|
Goal 7. Address challenges to biodiversity from climate change, and pollution
Target 7.1: Maintain and enhance resilience of the components of biodiversity to adapt to climate change
Target 7.2: Reduce pollution and its impacts on biodiversity
ASSESMENT
As regards the efforts to prevent climate changes, large increase in wood land and the work on establishment of the ecological networks make a significant move forward. Water quality in Serbia has insignificantly improved in the in the last decade.

In the last five decades, the wood land increased by 75%
When finalized, The Ecological Network of Serbia and the Natura 2000, which are now in the preliminary implementation stage, will greatly reduce further ecosystem fragmenting
Environmental Protection Law and other laws and legislation regulating the environmental protection, as well as other laws and legislation in other sectors, define the standards for the sake of pollution prevention
Measures and conditions for biodiversity conservation and nature protection are integrated in the legislation and documents in all economic fields oriented towards the use of the biological/natural resources
National Environmental Protection Program proposes incentive instruments intended for reducing of the agricultural activities in the fields vulnerable to pollution by nitrates, in accordance with the 91/676/ЕЕС Directive, as well as in the protected areas
Median concentration of BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) for total water regions reported a negligible trend in the ten-year period from 1998-2008.

Maintain goods and services from biodiversity to
support human well-being
Goal 8. Maintain capacity of ecosystems to deliver goods and services and support livelihoods
Target 8.1: Capacity of ecosystems to deliver goods and services maintained
Target 8.2: Biological resources that support sustainable livelihoods, local food security and health care, especially of poor people maintained
ASSESMENT
In the last few years a noticeable progress has been made in state owned forests management in accordance with the principles of sustainable managing. Laws and strategies adopted per sectors recognize the importance of biodiversity conservation and production based on the autochthonous races and taxa. The ways of collecting of the nature products, issuing of licenses and quotas for such collecting are regulated by a special Ordinance. Quality of waters and lakes in Serbia has not significantly changed in the last 10 years.

Almost a half of state owned forestry operators holds a certificate for sustainable managing of forests (FSC), and the other are in the certification process.
Collecting of eating and medicinal herbs, spices, fungi, snails, and other species, issuing of permits and quotas, are regulated by the Ordinance on control of use and trade in wild flora and fauna (Official Gazette of Republic of Serba, 31/2005, 45/2005, 22/2007, 38/2008 and 9/2010)
Law on Forests (2010), Law on Cattle Raising (2009), Agriculture Development Strategy (2005) and the Rural Development Strategy Plan 2009-2013 are important documents which, with their measures and goals, show the importance of biodiversity conservation, especially in connection with forest conservation and managing, as well as the need to conserve agro biodiversity and production based on the autochthonous domestic animal breeds and varieties of plants.
The Law on Organic Production was adopted in 2010 (Official Gazette of RS, 30/10).
Despite promotion of the organic production in the recent period, the organic agriculture land is still insignificant in relation to the total arable land.
Some protected areas implement their own programmes for conservation of certain native animal breeds
Median concentration of BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) for total water regions reported a negligible trend in the ten-year period from 1998-2008.
Serbia does not have local communities who depend directly on ecosystem goods and services

Protect traditional knowledge, innovations and practices
Goal 9: Maintain socio-cultural diversity of indigenous and local communities
Target 9.1: Protect traditional knowledge, innovations and practices
Target 9.2: Protect the rights of indigenous and local communities over their traditional knowledge, innovations and practices, including their rights to benefit sharing.
ASSESMENT
The issue of protection traditional knowledge, innovations and practices has not been resolved in the whole and systematically.

Additional indicators to be developed
|
Depopulation of rural areas is the process running for decades in Serbia. The number of households has been decreasing causing the loss of traditional knowledge and practice in agriculture, cattle breeding, and food production.
The Rural Development Draft Program provides measures for rural development in the period 2008 – 2013, as well as the measures concerning biodiversity conservation. One of the objectives of the Program is maintaining of the genetic animal resources through the increase in number of the local traditional breeds which are well adapted to the unfavorable conditions in the mountainous agro ecosystems and play important role in keeping the traditional pasture systems in the mountain and hill- country. The Program contains a list of the threatened autochthonous breeds for which the financial support may be obtained from the Rural Development Program.

Ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits
arising out of the use of genetic resources
Goal 10. Ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the use of genetic resources
Target 10.1: All access to genetic resources is in line with the Convention on Biological Diversity and its relevant provisions
Target 10.2: Benefits arising from the commercial and other utilization of genetic resources shared in a fair and equitable way with the countries providing such resources in line with the Convention on Biological Diversity and its relevant provisions
ASSESMENT
All access to genetic resources and benefits arising from the commercial and other utilization of genetic resources are regulated by the Serbian legislation in accordance with the Convention on Biological Diversity and its relevant provisions.

Laws within the competence of the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (Environmental Protection Law and Nature Protection Law, before all others), as well as the laws and legislation proposed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, regulate also the biodiversity protection, especially in the field of use and protection of the forestry, hunting, fishery and genetic resources for food and agriculture. The set of these laws provides for fair and equitable use of research and development findings resulting from the use of genetic resources.
