Panel discussions & Lectures
The energy crisis, which occurred at the beginning of this year, brought significant shocks to the energy markets around the world. Apart from price jumps, inflationary waves, and fear of this and next winter, the transition to renewable energy sources seems to be slowing down. The situation we are in has a significant impact on the standard of citizens, the economy is facing high energy prices, and it seems that we are yet to face challenges in the transition to renewable energy sources. Different measures, strategies, and plans are being prepared, but it seems that there is no clear picture of where we are actually going. On this panel, we will try to find out what the energy crisis brings us, what the energy transition brings us, and what is the current and future position of Serbia in the fight for the transition to cleaner and carbon-neutral energy sources.

Poaching in Serbia is not the focus of the public and the media, and we rarely hear more about this topic. Poachers are targeting numerous species of animals, from those that can be legally hunted with permits, to those out of the hunting season, and to protected and strictly protected wild species. The scale of poaching is large, and it has a significant impact on biological diversity and the protection of wild species in nature. At the panel, we will find out what measures are implemented to prevent and suppress poaching, which institutions are competent and responsible, what court proceedings look like in these cases, but also how to improve cooperation between competent authorities, civil society organizations, and citizens in effectively preventing poaching in Serbia.

The national competition dedicated to municipalities for sustainable urban development.
After the success of the Ekoopština initiative in Poland and Bulgaria and Romania, the first Serbian edition of the Ekoopština competition took place in 2022.
Ekoopština is a competition open to all Serbian municipalities. It aims to highlight the implementation of good practices at the local level in four key areas of sustainable cities: water management, waste management, energy efficiency of buildings and connected cities.
The competition aims to unite sustainable city stakeholders, including central and local governments, research centers and universities, associations and businesses, around a single project.
The Serbian winners then take part in a study visit in France with the actors related to their prize.
Thus, Ekoopština becomes a platform for cooperation between France and Serbia.
A category of the competition called “Green Schools”, concerns all Serbian primary and secondary schools. Its aim is to contribute to the environmental awareness and the development of a citizen spirit among young people. The competition rewards viable and innovative initiatives, thought up by teachers and students in favor of environmental protection.
