📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Environmental Protection announced today three public competitions through which funds will be allocated for co-financing projects for the replacement and reconstruction of boiler rooms, the remediation of unsanitary landfills, and the construction of waste management systems. Minister of Environmental Protection Sara Pavkov called on cities and municipalities to take advantage of this opportunity and state support and to submit quality projects. I expect that there will be great interest in these calls, as there has been so far, and that many quality projects will arrive. We started 2026 productively, and already in January we managed to announce three public competitions. I would like to remind you that every project we have supported in this way before is of essential importance to citizens. These calls are intended for local self-governments, and we continue to provide them with strong support in the implementation of projects that bring concrete and long-term benefits to all citizens, said Pavkov. As the minister emphasized, the state has provided significant funds and made available more than 2 billion dinars to local self-governments for co-financing projects for replacement, reconstruction, remediation, and procurement of new boiler rooms, for the implementation of projects for the remediation of unsanitary landfills, as well as for the implementation of projects for the construction of waste management systems, which includes the construction, reconstruction, and procurement of transfer stations, waste treatment facilities, as well as wastewater treatment plants. In this way, the Ministry of Environmental Protection decisively continues its continuous and systematic support to local self-governments in addressing key environmental challenges, improving and protecting the environment as our absolute priority, but also strengthening preventive measures. I would like to remind you that since 2021, we have managed to replace more than 200 boilers in public institutions across Serbia, to remediate or have ongoing work on as many as 18 unsanitary landfills, and we are also working on the construction of transfer stations, i.e., recycling yards. We will continue even more decisively and strongly, and in the coming days, we will have more public calls that will contribute to our main goal, which is the preservation of the environment and sustainable development of cities and municipalities, added Pavkov. The deadline for applications for co-financing projects for the replacement, reconstruction, remediation, and procurement of new boiler rooms is February 3, and for the implementation of projects for the construction of waste management systems, as well as for the implementation of projects for the remediation of unsanitary landfills, cities and municipalities can apply until February 9, 2026.
