Serbia - Danube River Enterprise
Pollution Reduction Project
The project will focus on introducing
environmentally friendly practices in nutrient management in medium and large size cattle and
pig farms, and proper
animal waste management in slaughterhouses.
The project area will be Vojvodina and Central Serbia where intensive
livestock production and
slaughtering is common.
The project will also assist the
harmonization of Serbian regulations with the EU Nitrate Directive, in particular through the
drafting of a Code for Good Agricultural Practices.
The capacity of the Agricultural Extension
Services will be enhanced to provide proper guidance to enterprises to manage manure and slaughterhouse animal waste properly. The
project will also help improve capacity for water quality monitoring.
The project is expected to become effective
in June 2005 and last four years.
