Serbia has commenced the formulation of a comprehensive Strategy spanning from 2025 to 2040 aimed at managing the nation’s mineral and geological resources. Dubravka Djedovic Handanovic, the Minister of Energy, led the inaugural meeting in Belgrade, engaging with representatives from the Geology faculty to kickstart this pivotal initiative, as reported by the “Beta” press agency. Minister Djedovic Handanovic emphasized the necessity for the forthcoming document to conduct a thorough analysis of the current state of all mineral resources, outlining a trajectory from present circumstances towards future aspirations. The objective is to propose measures that enhance control and management of mineral development, ensuring maximal economic benefits while minimizing environmental damage.
According to the minister, the Strategy is slated for completion “in the next nine months,” signifying a commitment to expedited progress in this critical area. Djedovic Handanovic highlighted Serbia’s historical reliance on mining for development, noting the absence of a coherent contemporary strategy in this domain. To address this gap, the drafting process will engage 50 professors and collaborators from the Faculty of Geology, tasked with integrating global best practices and cutting-edge technological solutions to foster sustainable mining practices.
Minister Djedovic Handanovic stressed the importance of empowering professionals throughout this process, emphasizing their expertise and pivotal role in shaping the Strategy’s outcomes.
