Bozidar Djelic said last night that a strategy for sustainable development would be drawn up by late February. “The government is preparing a strategy that will make it possible to balance the economic, social and environmental goals of development,” the deputy prime minister said. "Sustainable development strategy almost ready" In a public debate on the document at Belgrade University’s Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, Djelic said that the strategy rested on three pillars – the environment, the economy and social policy. The deputy prime minister said that Serbia had invested only a quarter of the money in sustainable development that new European Union member-states had in the past few years. "Only 12 percent of waste is recycled in Serbia today, 60 percent in the European Union and up to 90 percent in the West. Still, Serbia has taken a step forward because only three percent of waste was recycled three years ago," he explained. Djelic said that recycling was an economic opportunity estimated to be worth EUR 100mn per year. The deputy prime minister said that the government expected a large number of ideas from this faculty, including a proposal for the construction of windmills to harness renewable sources of energy in the country.
