Abstract

The aim of this chapter is an overall review and analysis of the most important national regulative frameworks related to conservation and sustainable utilization of forest genetic resources in Serbia. A number of legally-binding and non-binding documents (strategies, laws and programs), which have an effect on the conservation and sustainable utilization of forest genetic resources, were adopted after the 2000s in Serbia. This issue is mainly the subject of strategies, laws and programs from the fields of forestry, sustainable development, environmental and nature protection. It could be stated that there is no adopted legally-binding legislation which directly relates to the FGR conservation in Serbia.

previous chapter State of Biodiversity and Forest Genetic Resources in Greece in Relation to Conservation

next chapter Institutional Framework for Conservation of Forest Genetic Resources in Serbia

National Program of conservation and sustainable utilization of FGR of the Republic of Serbia for the period 2016–2025 (draft) is officially posted on the website of the Forest directorate: https://www.upravazasume.gov.rs/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nacrt-nacionalne-strategije-konzervacije-sumskih-genetickih-resursa.pdf.

In 2001, Serbia ratified the Convention on Biological Diversity, whereby certain international obligations were undertaken, one of which relates to the development of national strategies, plans or programs for the protection and sustainable use of biological diversity, and in accordance with that, the Biodiversity strategy of the Republic of Serbia was adopted (Nonić et al. 2017a).

Šijačić-Nikolic et al. (2014a) state that in-situ conservation implies “conservation of forest genetic resources in natural populations and the protected nature areas”,whereas the ex-situ conservation is a “form of conservation of forest genetic resources outside their natural habitat, the establishment of seed orchards, clonal archives, progeny tests, botanical gardens, arboreta and live archives”.

As an explanation of their attitude, respondents indicated: “lack of binding regulations, globally and in the domestic legislation, which are directly related to the conservation of FGR”, therefore is necessary to “the adopt strategy of FGR conservation, which will clearly define the goals of the FGR conservation”, and emphasized that “existing laws are satisfactory, but lacks consistency in applying punitive measures” as well as “the jurisdiction of environmental protection and forestry are not well coordinated (forestry needs are in the second plan)” (Lalović 2016).
