OUR SERVICES
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
An environmental impact assessment is the cornerstone of an environmental impact assessment procedure. The kinds of projects that are subject to an EIA are determined on the basis of the EIA Directive (Directive 85/337/EEC). As part of the EIA provision, and upon agreement with the client, we provide all required analyses, measurements, inventories or expert opinions that are required to issue an environmental approval.
PRELIMINARY PROCEDURE – SCREENING
An EIA preliminary procedure is a screening procedure in which it is determined whether an environmental impact assessment needs to be carried out and an environmental consent must be obtained. It is carried out only for projects in which, due to the characteristics of the project or their location, significant environmental impacts can be expected, as determined by the Decree on Environmental Interventions, for which an environmental impact assessment must be performed (Official Gazette of the RS, No. 51/14, 57/15, 26/17 and 105/20).
STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
During the Strategic Environmental Assessment procedure for the assessment of plans, programmes, master plans and spatial and other regulations, an environmental report is prepared in which the likely significant effects on the environment and the reasonable alternatives of the proposed plan or programme are identified. The procedure is subject to the decision of the ministry competent for the environment on the basis of the SEA Directive (Directive 2001/42/EC).
