Summary/Abstract: Socio-economic and environmental processes are simultaneously both the drivers and consequences of demographic change reflected in the number, structure, and spatial distribution of the population. Due to the need to reconcile different developmental aspects, the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development encompasses three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. The objectives of the 2030 Agenda are formulated to cover a wide range of different developmental issues, within which sustainability principles are expected to be applied at national, as well as international level. Migration, one of the components of demographic change, has been recognized under this Agenda as an important cross-cutting issue for development. In the context of the challenges and opportunities that migration presents for the development of migrants’ areas of origin and destination, the paper analyzes the goals and targets of sustainable development that are relevant to migration. The interdependence between migration and socioeconomic development and ecological change is highlighted, as well as the importance of cooperation between actors relevant for monitoring and managing migration at different levels. Sustainable development challenges were also discussed from the viewpoint of the migration profile of Serbia as well as migration issues in national and local strategic documents.
