Integrisano sprečavanje i kontrola industrijskog zagađenja u Srbiji ostaju jedan od ključnih izazova za zaštitu životne sredine i javno zdravlje, ali i važan test institucionalnih kapaciteta države. Iako je regulatorni okvir EU zasnovan na integrisanim dozvolama i primeni najboljih dostupnih tehnika (BAT), njegova primena u Srbiji je i dalje ograničena. Mnogi operateri rade bez dozvola, dok postupci njihovog izdavanja traju godinama—što ukazuje na ozbiljne strukturne slabosti sistema.

Integrated prevention and control of industrial pollution in Serbia remains one of the key challenges for environmental protection and public health, as well as an important test of the state’s institutional capacity. While the EU regulatory framework is based on integrated permits and the application of Best Available Techniques (BAT), its implementation in Serbia remains limited. Many operators continue to operate without permits, while permitting procedures often take years—pointing to serious structural weaknesses in the system.
