Biodistricts Recognized in Two New National Strategies of the Republic of Serbia
Biodistricts have been recognized in two new national strategies of the Republic of Serbia: the Agriculture and Rural Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia for the period 2026–2034, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 74/2026, and the Environmental Protection Strategy of the Republic of Serbia until 2033 – Green Agenda for Serbia, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 71/2026.
This represents an important first step towards the institutional recognition of biodistricts as a model that brings together sustainable agriculture, nature and biodiversity conservation, local economic development, and the strengthening of rural communities.
The recognition of the biodistrict concept within Serbia’s strategic framework creates opportunities for its further development, its integration into support measures and mechanisms, and the expansion of this model to other areas across Serbia.
For Biodistrict Kolubara, as the first biodistrict in Serbia and the wider region, this represents significant recognition of the work carried out to date and an important foundation for the further development of the biodistrict model in Serbia.
