Mining and mineral processing is still a vital source of income in Serbia, due to abundance in copper, lead, zinc, antimony. Copper mining and metal-processing are located in the east: Bor, Veliki Krivelj, Cerovo, Majdanpek. Antimony and lead mining and processing sites are at the western border: Zajača, Krupanj, Stolice. Coal mining and coal-firing power plants are surrounding Belgrade: Obrenovac (2 power plants), Grabovac (plant ash landfill), Kolubara and Kostolac. The aim of this work is to present key elements of the document “Roadmap for sound management of contaminated sites”, a deliverable of the multi-stakeholder project “Strengthening Serbian national capacities and inter-sectorial synergies for safe management of contaminated sites related hazardous substances to prevent negative impact on human health and environment”(No.QSPTF13/13/GOV/19), supported by the UNEP, SAICM and WHO. Project pilot study was focused on Bor. The need for the national approach to delivering a Roadmap was pointed out in the Ostrava Declaration of the Sixth Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health (Ostrava, 2017), signed by the dignitaries of the WHO Member States (Republic of Serbia as well), and important international bodies, as a guidance document for the overall European Environment and Health Process (EHP). Roadmap is a result of multi-stakeholder project teamwork. It consists of 4 specific parts: Expanding the knowledge base; Monitoring and reporting; Leadership and cooperation; Strengthening institutional capacities. It took 6 months in 2018 to finalize the Action plan, a key component of the Roadmap.
