Summary/Abstract: The study contains a research concerning implementation of the Directive on Envi- ronmental Impact Assessment (EIA Directive) and the Directive on Strategic Environ- mental Assessment (SEA Directive) in Serbia. Goals of this research are: to determine the current status of the functioning of Serbia’s institutions and to determine the cur- rent status of public participation in EIA/SEA procedures. Besides being focused on institutional issues, public participation and respect of EU standards, the study frame- work also comprises environmental assessment of projects primarily, and to a lesser extent plans and programmes. The focus on EIA is further narrowed to research of its implementation at the municipal level. Except for implementation, certain attention is given to harmonisation of the Serbia’s regulation with that of the EU regarding EIA and SEA and drawing comparisons between harmonization and implementation.
