Serbia is in a position to pursue long-term sustainable ‘green growth’ strategies. Society in

Serbia can be mobilized around this goal, since green growth strategies are able to

in policy making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation are essential if such a policy is

to be pursued.

Launched in 2014 following the Juncker Declaration on enlargement and against the backdrop of key geopolitical challenges at the EU’s doorstep, the Berlin process is an initiative aimed at maintaining the momentum of European integration in the Western Balkans.

From 2007 to date, the demographic picture of Croatia as presented by basic demographic indicators (i.e. natural growth, net migration and total population change) shows features not typical for most EU countries. Since the beginning of the economic crisis, Croatia exhibited, in total, a natural decline (more deaths than births), a negative net migration balance, and a decline in population size. Moreover, Croatia belongs to a group of five EU countries (together with Lithuania, Latvia, Romania and Bulgaria) that recorded a loss of more than 3% of the total population during the observed period. From the beginning of 2007 until the end of 2016, Croatia lost around 160,000 people and this figure will likely to approach 200,000 by the end of…
