The transition to a green economy certainly has a price but acting now and preventively is much cheaper than to repair huge damage later

H.E. Urs Scmid, Ambassador of Switzerland in Serbia and to Montenegro

12.06.2023

The transition to a green economy certainly has a price but acting now and preventively is much cheaper than to repair huge damage later – says Ambassador of Switzerland in Serbia and to Montenegro, H.E. Urs Schmid in his interview for portal eKapija. According to him, Serbia has already made significant progress in terms of alignment with the EU acquis on waste, air quality and nature protection. Still, further key strategies and plans need to be developed and adopted. He discovers key fundamental principles of Swiss Environmental law which could be also copied in Serbia.

Mr. Deputy Mayor, dear Goran,

Dear guests,
