Summary/Abstract: The Republic of Serbia has ratified climate change related international agreements adopted hitherto within the United Nations. Aside of that, climate change issues are of the considerable importance in the EU accession process, whereas the Paris Agreement is to be considered as the utmost multilateral framework for dealing with the climate change. The EU is dedicated to providing support to its neighbourhood, as the transformation of the EU may be fully effective only if the closest neighbourhood undertakes effective actions regarding mitigation of climate risks and environmental protection. This being said, it should be mentioned that the leaders of the Western Balkans countries have confirmed on several occasions their commitment towards implementation of actions within the Green Agenda. The Chapter 27 in negotiation of the accession of Serbia to the EU is entitled Environment and Climate Change and it was officially opened for negotiations on the Thirteenth meeting of the Accession Conference with Serbia at Ministerial level held in Brussels on 14th of December 2021. Nevertheless, until finalization of this paper there has been no information if the negotiating has practically begun. Although Serbia has not accepted the targeted decarbonisation through the coal phase down as envisaged at COP26 held in Glasgow, through international agreements and agreements reached within the EU accession process Serbia has accepted many obligations. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that Serbia needs to direct activities towards implementation of the already accepted obligations whereas it is necessary to define steps and priorities in professional and responsible manner. As a result of the analysis, this paper states key obligations to be implemented.
