]]>5 years ago, our management staff noticed the need for closer cooperation with domestic regulatory bodies on the one hand and with EU institutions on the other hand in order to provide support in the form of donated equipment from EU accession funds. During 2017, in close cooperation with the competent ministries of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and their expert teams, our company provided the first donations from the accession IPA 2013 funds of the European Union in the form of the latest equipment and instruments as part of the project “Procurement of equipment necessary to improve conformity assessment services in the Republic of Serbia ”.
The value of the equipment is around half a million euros and we are proud of the fact that we are the only private company that has managed to provide this type of support in this project. By procuring new equipment and instruments, we have ensured a thorough renewal of our resources.
As part of our company’s laboratory services, the new sampling equipment expands our possibilities for sampling pollutants that we have not been able to sample so far, as well as increasing our capacity and the possibility of simultaneous sampling and measurement of pollutants in the field of environment. A gas chromatograph with a triple quad mass detector and a liquid sample autosempler with 150 sample points for the analysis of organic pollutants should be noted. The sensitivity of the purchased gas chromatograph is 20 times higher than any triple quad detector from competing manufacturers. A special segment of the procured instruments refers to the duo system of atomic absorption spectrometers which enable very precise and fast work in terms of metal analysis.
Also, from the purchased equipment, we emphasize a completely new measuring chain for testing in the field of construction acoustics, which significantly improved this area of testing.
The new equipment will, in addition to the already reached high level of professional services, provide a further increase in our, otherwise, very wide customer base. Annually, we have about 600 active business entities with which we do business, from the smallest retail stores to the largest business systems in the country.

]]>Nowadays, when climate changes become more and more visible, an individual is not a huge polluter, but big groups of people are. Therefore, it is necessary to change and spread ecological consciousness whenever we get the chance.
When we talk about environmental protection, the term “recycling” is one of the first things that comes to mind. But to be able to understand the importance recycling has on environmental protection, we must first explain what this term is all about.
What Is Recycling?
Recycling is the process that includes gathering and processing materials that would otherwise go to waste, and all this to make a new product out of it. Although it sounds simple in theory, practice often faces aggravating circumstances or resistance towards the recycling process.
And this should not happen, especially if we consider all the positive sides recycling can have on our environment, policy, and economy. As such, it represents the future of our planet, offering various benefits.
Recycling Means Spending Less Natural Resources
All natural resources are disappearing at an incredible pace. The majority of countries are trying to come up with strategies that will tackle this question. For instance, there is a problem with uncontrollable woodcutting and the time required for a single tree to grow. Therefore, we must strive to do what is good for nature and recycle whenever possible.
This will help us save valuable resources such as water, oil, and wood. If we decide to recycle plastic, we will reduce the production of new plastic items, meaning that less natural resources such as fossil fuels and hydrocarbons will be used for this purpose.
Recycling Protects Plants And Animals
Forests are natural habitats for numerous plant and animal species, and yet they are relentlessly cut and destroyed (which also decreases the amount of ozone in the atmosphere). By losing their natural habitats, those species become endangered. Therefore, paper, carton, and other wood products must be recycled as often as possible to decrease the detrimental impact the destruction of forests has on flora and fauna.
Recycling Protects The Water And Water Environment
Unfortunately, large amounts of waste end up in seas, rivers, and oceans nowadays, polluting waters and directly endangering the natural habitats of various aquatic plant and animal species. Recycling could have a key role when it comes to decreasing plastic production, bringing numerous benefits to the aquatic environment, and decreasing total pollution.
The polluted water easily reaches the soil, and from the soil to plants and plants eventually end up on our table.
Recycling Means Less Burned Waste
There was a time when the waste managing industry promoted burning waste as a legitimate way of decreasing its total amount. In the meantime, scientists discovered that it has a detrimental effect on the environment so recycling became a viable alternative. Also, waste burning means more air pollution, which is already at an all-time high in our and neighboring countries, so if recycling directly decreases landfill waste burning, we should always opt for that option.
Recycling Saves Energy
If we do not recycle our waste, it will get burned in landfills, which means more CO2 emissions to our atmosphere. Therefore, this sort of waste must always be sorted out to corresponding containers. Also, when products are made from recycled materials, it uses far less energy compared to producing brand new products.
Recycling Helps Lower The Emission Of Harmful Co2 Gas
Since recycling uses far less energy compared to the standard production process, it emits less CO2, the dangerous gas that is responsible for the greenhouse effect. This effect is most responsible for global warming, followed by water and air pollution. This means that recycling could also help a lot in terms of slowing down climate changes.
Recycling Means Less Waste In Landfills
A continual increase in the population on the planet also means more individual waste production. Some of those objects made out of paper, plastic and glass could be recycled and used again, which would in return decrease the amount of waste in the landfills.
Recycling Encourages The Use Of Ecologically Acceptable Alternatives
Nowadays, big companies opt for recycling, they use energy from renewable resources, and are all about environmental protection. Moreover, environmentally conscious companies are using it as an integral part of their branding strategy, which brings them more loyal clients that can recognize their business vision.
Our expert team knows everything about recycling regulations in Serbia. Also, we offer a wide range of services, including smart waste management planning, as well as air, soil, and water analyses that are performed in our modern accredited laboratory.
If you need a reliable and licensed partner to help you navigate environmental laws and regulations and help you improve your business, you should get in touch with us today.

]]>Nowadays, the impact of climate change is becoming more pronounced and although the individual is not a major polluter per se, large groups of people are. That is why it is necessary to adopt and apply new achievements in the field of environmental protection and spread environmental awareness whenever we have the opportunity to do so.
When we talk about preserving the environment, the concept of recycling is one of the first associations. But to understand the importance of recycling for the preservation of the environment, we should first clarify what this term encompasses.
What is recycling?
Recycling is a process that includes the collection and processing of materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill, all with the goal of making it a new product. Although this sounds simple in theory, in practice we often encounter a number of aggravating circumstances, and even resistance to the recycling process.
That should not be the case, because it represents an important element of the future of our planet, and the benefits it brings are multiple. We have tried to list some of the most important ones.
Recycling reduces the consumption of natural resources
Non-renewable natural resources are being consumed at an incredible rate. That is why it is necessary for each country to devise its own strategy that will deal with this important issue. Take for example the uncontrolled deforestation and the time it takes for a tree to grow and it will soon become clear to us the extent of the ecological imbalance that is ubiquitous.
That is why this is the right moment when we should strive to make our impact on nature as positive as possible and to approach recycling whenever possible. In this way, we best save hard-to-renew resources such as water, oil and wood. If, for example, we increase the total recycling of plastics, we will directly affect the smaller production of this material, for the production of which resources such as fossil fuels and hydrocarbons are primarily used.
Recycling protects flora and fauna
Bearing in mind that the forest is a natural habitat for a large number of plant and animal species, and that it is cut down and destroyed uncontrollably (which also negatively affects the amount of ozone in the atmosphere), many species lose their natural habitat and even become endangered.
Therefore, it is crucial that paper, cardboard and other products made of wood are recycled as much as possible, in order to reduce the harmful impact that forest destruction has on flora and fauna.
Recycling protects water and the aquatic world
Unfortunately, it is generally known that a large amount of waste ends up in the seas, rivers and oceans, which pollutes the water and directly endangers the natural habitats of the river and sea, as well as flora and fauna. When water is polluted, it easily reaches the soil, from the soil to the plants, and from the plants it reaches us.
Here, recycling could play a key role because the amount of plastic produced would be significantly reduced, which would bring great benefits to aquatic life and significantly reduce overall pollution.
Recycling means less incinerated waste
In the past, the waste management industry promoted incineration as a legitimate way to reduce the total amount of waste. However, it was later learned that this has a bad impact on the environment and that recycling offers a better alternative.
If we know that air pollution in our country and surrounding countries is already worryingly high, and if recycling can directly affect the reduction of landfill incineration, we should always opt for that option.
Recycling saves energy
All packaging that does not go for recycling is incinerated, which directly contributes to higher CO2 emissions into our atmosphere. That is why it is crucial that packaging waste is always disposed of in special containers provided for that purpose. Namely, when we make products from recycled material, incomparably less energy is consumed than when we make completely new products.
Recycling helps reduce harmful CO2 emissions
Because recycling uses much less energy than the standard production process, much less CO2 is emitted, the gas responsible for causing the greenhouse effect. This effect is most responsible for global warming, followed by water and air pollution. In that sense, recycling could at least slow down climate change.
Recycling means less garbage in landfills
With the continuous increase in the number of inhabitants on our planet, the amount of waste we produce also increases. Thus, various items end up in landfills that could be recycled and reused, which in turn would reduce the amount of waste at the landfills themselves.
Recycling encourages the use of more environmentally friendly alternatives
Nowadays, large companies are increasingly turning to recycling, the use of energy from renewable sources as well as the preservation of the environment in general. Moreover, environmentally conscious companies use this as part of their branding strategy, and thus gain a greater number of loyal customers who value their business vision.
We at Zaštita Beograd are well aware of the legal framework that covers recycling in Serbia. In addition, we offer a wide range of services related to smart waste management, as well as the analysis of water, soil and air samples that we perform in our modern and accredited laboratory.

]]>The employment of persons with disabilities in the Republic of Serbia is regulated by the Law on Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities. The mentioned law clearly defines persons who can achieve the status of a person with a disability on the basis of numerous criteria.
An unemployed person with a disability is considered to be any person who is between 15 and 65 years old, has no employment relationship, nor has exercised the right to work, who is actively seeking employment and is on the register of unemployed persons in the local employment organization.
What are the rights and obligations of people with disabilities?
A person with a disability has the right to determine the status and assessment of working ability, as well as to encourage employment, work and social inclusion. In the labor market, the law promotes equal opportunities, the prohibition of all forms of discrimination and gender equality. Persons with disabilities also have the right to measures and activities of professional rehabilitation and to employment under both general and special conditions. The latter implies a special adaptation of the workplace and work tasks so that the person with a disability can freely meet the requirements of the workplace.
Also, the law covers measures of active employment policy, employment in specially organized forms of employment and employment of persons with disabilities.
When we talk about obligations, a person with a disability has a duty to respond to the call for assessment of working ability and determination of status, to get involved in professional training, to actively look for a job and to accept professional rehabilitation. She should cooperate with professionals during professional rehabilitation, be ready to accept active employment policy measures and to accept employment if the opportunity arises, and in accordance with her professional abilities.
Encouraging the employment of people with disabilities
The local employment organization is responsible for encouraging the employment of persons with disabilities. This organization should provide the maximum when it comes to the implementation of measures and activities of professional rehabilitation, as well as the encouragement of self-employment and employment of persons with disabilities.
What is vocational rehabilitation?
Vocational rehabilitation is a broad term. It includes the organization and implementation of measures and activities aimed at training for a suitable job, employment, job maintenance, advancement in an existing job or a career change. It also includes career guidance, professional information, counseling and monitoring of the individual employment plan, additional training, retraining, as well as various other programs to improve labor and social integration.
If a person with a disability is employed, he / she has the right to leave during the duration of professional rehabilitation and his / her employment cannot be terminated due to that leave.
Moreover, an employee with a disability during the rehabilitation is entitled to a salary compensation in the amount of 100% of the average salary earned in the previous three months before joining this program, and the salary compensation cannot be less than the minimum.
He is also entitled to financial assistance for the duration of the program, for transportation costs for himself and his companion, if any, in the amount of non-taxable amount in accordance with the law, or in the amount of 20% of the minimum wage, provided that this program is performed for a period of at least 100 hours and if the person with a disability is not a beneficiary of another cash benefit based on disability.
Obligation to employ persons with disabilities
Every employer with 20 to 49 employees would have to have one person with a disability in employment. For 50 or more employees, you are required to employ at least two people with disabilities. For every next 50 employees started, there is another employee with a disability. The exception is newly established employers, who do not have this obligation for 24 months from the day of establishment.
If the employer does not employ persons with disabilities, he is legally obliged to pay the amount of 50% of the current average salary per employee in Serbia for each person with disabilities he did not employ. On the other hand, if he decides to employ a person with a disability who is employed under special conditions, he may exercise the right to reimbursement of expenses incurred as a result of adjusting the workplace for the employment of that person.
Finally, if an employer employs an indefinite person with a disability who has no work experience, he or she will be entitled to a wage subsidy for that person for a period of up to 75% of the total wage costs, including compulsory social security contributions, but no more from the minimum determined in accordance with labor regulations.
Penalties
The Law on Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities prescribes a fine of 200,000 to 1 million dinars in case the employer does not employ a person with a disability, or 10,000 to 50,000 dinars for a responsible person in a legal entity, and fines range from 5,000 to 400,000 dinars for entrepreneurs. Tax inspectors are responsible for the implementation of punitive measures.
These are just some of the most important items that we have singled out from the Law on Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities in Serbia.

]]>Environmental protection in the Republic of Serbia is regulated by the law which ensures the human right to development and life in a healthy environment, as well as a balanced relationship between economic development and the environment. Although Serbia has a fairly well-regulated legal framework related to the preservation and protection of the environment, it should be noted that the application of all legal regulations is not always consistent in all areas.
However, the change in the political climate in this part of Europe in the last two decades has led to a change in the perception of the importance of preserving the environment. Today, it is also of strategic importance for the state of Serbia because there is a large number of capital investments related to the preservation of protected natural resources in our country.
There is, of course, the always burning issue of European integration and their huge impact on this area, since the members of the European Union demand that each future member accepts its acquis, and other European countries attach great importance to preserving the environment.
If we look at the requirements and what has been achieved in practice so far, we will notice that there is an evident gap in the harmonization between European standards and what Serbia has done so far in the field of environmental protection and preservation, although there are some progress.
Environmental protection is a complex area
When we talk about environmental protection, we are actually talking about a whole series of laws, measures, conditions and instruments not only for preserving the natural balance and remediation of various forms of pollution, but also for nurturing the diversity and quality of the environment and preventing its pollution. And these are all challenges that are not easy to answer.
In this regard, it is necessary to first explain some of the basic concepts concerning the preservation of the environment in Serbia.
What is the environment?
To better understand what is covered by environmental protection, we must first define it. Although the first association with the environment is our immediate environment, it is important to emphasize that it actually encompasses a set of both natural and created values, whose complex interrelationships make up the space and conditions for life in general.
Simply put, the environment consists of natural elements, ie. water, air, land, flora and fauna, climate, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, vibrations, noise, but also typically human creations, ie settlements, various facilities and infrastructure.
This number and complexity of mutual relations of environmental elements imposes the need for careful measurement of its quality, ie monitoring of various physical, chemical, biological and other indicators.
Who are the subjects of the environmental protection system?
The system of environmental protection is obliged to be improved by everyone, starting from the Republic of Serbia, its autonomous provinces, local self-government units, then legal and natural persons who use natural values in performing economic or other activities, and endanger or pollute the environment in any way. .
The subjects of the protection system include scientific and other organizations, as well as individuals and groups of citizens, where everyone is responsible for the activity that changes or may change the state or conditions in the environment, or for not taking measures to protect the environment. are prescribed by law.
Obligations of legal entities related to environmental protection
In Serbia, there are a number of laws, bylaws and ratified international conventions that deal with environmental protection. In short, economic operators, as well as individuals, are obliged to apply and enforce environmental regulations, respect the principle of sustainability when using natural resources, goods and energy, introduce more energy efficient technologies and use renewable natural resources whenever possible. This is especially true of major pollutants in our country, such as oil refineries, thermal power plants and other power plants, the chemical industry, metal processing companies, cement plants, mines, and the food industry.
Also, economic entities should follow processes, technologies and practices that pose less threat to the environment, and take measures to prevent or eliminate the consequences of endangerment and damage to the environment when necessary, and to properly keep the necessary records on consumption of raw materials and energy, discharge. pollutants, then the classification, characteristics and quantities of waste. These and other relevant data should be submitted to the competent authorities on a regular basis. It is also necessary to deal with the control of activities and operation of plants that may pose a risk or cause a danger to the environment and human health.

The unemployed person with a disability includes everyone between 15 and 65 years of age who is not in any type of employment nor did exercise the right to work, is actively seeking a job, and is registered as unemployed at the local employment organization.
What Are The Rights And Obligations Of Persons With Disabilities?
A person with a disability has the right to disability status evaluation and work capability assessment, as well as employment encouragement and work and social inclusion. This law promotes equal possibilities for everyone in the labor market, prohibits all sorts of discrimination, and encourages gender equality. Persons with disabilities are also entitled to measures and activities regarding professional rehabilitation and employment under both general and special conditions. The latter implies the special adaptation of the workplace and work tasks so that a person with a disability can meet the requirements of the workplace.
Likewise, the law includes measures of active employment policies, employment in specially organized forms of employment, and hiring people with disabilities.
When it comes to responsibilities, a person with a disability must respond to a call for work capability assessment and disability status evaluation, to engage in professional development, actively search for work, and to accept professional rehabilitation. They should cooperate with employment experts during professional rehabilitation and accept measures of active employment policy as well as the employment opportunity in case it arises and is in accordance with their professional capabilities.
Encouraging Hiring Persons With Disabilities
Local employment organizations are responsible for encouraging the employment of persons with disabilities. These organizations should provide maximum when it comes to the implementation of measures and activities of professional rehabilitation, as well as the encouragement of self-employment and hiring persons with disabilities.
What Is Professional Rehabilitation?
Professional rehabilitation is a somewhat broader concept as it includes organization and carrying out measures and activities to train individuals for suitable jobs, employment, maintaining employment, advancement in an existing job, or a career change. It also includes career guidance, professional informing, counseling, and monitoring of the individual employment plan, additional training, retraining, as well as various other programs to improve labor and social integration.
If a person with a disability is employed, he/she has the right to leave during the duration of professional rehabilitation and his/her employment cannot be terminated due to that leave.

However, the change in the political climate in this part of Europe that happened over the last two decades has significantly affected the perception of the importance of environmental protection. Today, it also has strategic importance for Serbia given the considerable number of current capital investments for the preservation of protected natural goods in our country.
Of course, we cannot help but mention the ongoing European integration process and its considerable impact on this area, since all members of the European Union request that every future member accepts its acquis communautaire.
On the other hand, if we take a quick look at what has been achieved so far, we will notice the gap between European standards and what we have done, regardless of the fact there have been significant advances, too.
Environmental Protection Is a Complex Area
When we talk about environmental protection, we are talking about numerous laws, measures, conditions, and instruments that are bound not only to protect the natural balance and deal with different forms of pollution but also to nurture diversity and quality of the environment, by preventing and decreasing the pollution. And all these challenges are quite demanding.
That is why we must explain some basic concepts regarding environmental protection first.
What Is The Environment?
To better understand everything regarding environmental protection, we must first define it. Even though the very first thought that comes to mind upon mention of it is our immediate surroundings, we must stress that it includes both natural and artificial creations and conditions, whose complex mutual interactions create space and conditions for life in general.
Simply put, the environment consists of natural elements such as water, air, soil, plants and animals, climate, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, vibrations, noise but also some typical human creations such as settlements, different objects, and infrastructure. The complexity of mutual relationships between elements of the environment imposes the need for measuring its quality by following different physical, chemical, biological, and other indicators.
Who Are The Subjects Of The Environmental Protection System?
Everyone is obliged to improve the environmental protection system, starting with the Republic of Serbia, its autonomous provinces, local government units, and natural and legal persons that by performing economic or other activities use natural resources and can endanger and pollute the environment in different ways.
The subjects to environmental protection systems are also scientific and other organizations, as well as individuals and groups of citizens. Everyone is responsible for the activity that changes or can change the current conditions in the environment, and for refraining from using measures that can protect the environment.
Responsibilities Of Legal Persons Regarding Environmental Protection
In Serbia, there are many laws, by-laws, and ratified international conventions and protocols that regulate this area. In short, both legal persons and individuals are obliged to follow and apply regulations regarding environmental protection, respect the sustainability principle while using natural resources, goods, and energy; to use energy efficient technology, and opt for renewable resources whenever possible. This particularly applies to huge polluters in our country such as oil refineries, power plants, and other energetic facilities, chemical industry, metalwork companies, cement plants, mines, and the food industry.
Legal persons must use processes, technologies, and practices that are better for the environment, take necessary precautions and clear the consequences of harming the environment if necessary. Also, they must provide proper evidence about using resources and energies, and classify the pollutants they released according to their features and amounts. These and other significant data must be delivered to the local authorities. Finally, they must track down the activities and control the functioning of their facilities that can pose threat or be harmful to the environment and human health.

]]>According to the Republic Fund for Pension and Disability Insurance, employees from at least ten categories have the right to benefited work experience in Serbia, and that number is significantly higher.
Beneficial length of service implies payment of increased contributions for FPD, earlier retirement, and thus longer use of pension in relation to the average pensioner. However, only persons who work in jobs that are extremely difficult and dangerous to health have the right to benefited work experience, regardless of the fact that all possible safety measures at work have been applied.
Beneficial work experience is also achieved by persons who work in places where the performance of activities is conditioned by the years of life, ie where due to the nature and severity of work, physiological functions decline and it is simply impossible to continue successful activities.
How are FPD contributions paid?
The weight of the job itself, as well as the harmfulness and danger to health, are in direct correlation with the coefficient of increasing the length of insurance. Thus, a year can be counted as 14, 15, 16 or 18 months, and the employer is obliged to pay somewhat increased contributions for PIO:
Also, the length of service is calculated with an increased duration only under the condition that the person has worked for at least ten years (in order to exercise the right to an old-age pension), ie five years if a disability has been determined. It should also be borne in mind that only time spent effectively at work is benefited.
Also, the right to benefited length of service is not only for employees to whom the employer pays contributions, but also for those who pay it themselves, but under the condition that it is determined that they actually performed difficult and dangerous jobs covered by the legal framework.
Which occupations can qualify for a benefited length of service?
Beneficial work experience usually follows employees in the above activities and at certain institutions, and according to some current estimates, there are about 180,000 of them. Those are:
This includes jobs in certain state entities, covered by special regulations that determine jobs with beneficial work experience, such as:
Judges, prosecutors and deputy prosecutors deployed in war crimes and organized crime prosecutor’s offices
How is the benefited length of service calculated?
There are general conditions for retirement and more favorable conditions for retirement. Also, there is a general calculation of pensions and a more favorable calculation that is applicable only to certain categories of insured persons.
The retirement age is lowered in relation to the degree of increase in length of service, and the obligation of the insured is to spend at least two thirds of the total length of service in the benefited jobs.
A more favorable calculation of pensions is made according to the completed length of service and earnings starting from January 1, 1996 (for other insured persons it is January 1, 1970), whereby the amount thus obtained is increased by 20%, if he is at least 55 years old and 24 years old. length of service.
