The Center for Green Politics focuses its work on three program areas

Education about Green Politics

In order to expand knowledge about green politics, we develop and implement various educational programs. Our political education programs aim to empower people to take a key role in driving the socio-ecological-economic transformation.

Development of the Green Idea

Through research, analysis, creation, and development of strategic proposals and practical policy suggestions, we contribute to the development of the green idea. In this process, we collaborate with experts, activists, organizations, political actors, the academic community, and anyone who wants to join in creating a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.

Support for Local Groups

Change comes from the local level! In order to build a society based on solidarity, equality, and ecological wisdom, we support all those who fight daily in various ways for these and similar goals.

We bring you the latest news from the Center for Green Politics, as well as updates and developments from the sphere of green and left-wing politics.

    Five Measures to Improve the Legal Framework for Animal Protection in the Republic of Serbia

    A turning point in the field of protecting non-human animals in Serbia was the adoption of the Animal Welfare Act in 2009. Within this law, Serbia introduced a number of measures that had already demonstrated success in other European countries. This research examines five measures whose implementation could improve the state of animal welfare in Serbia and beyond. Some of the proposed measures are put forward precisely because they could enhance the implementation of existing provisions, which are already included in the upgraded legal framework.

  • Citizens’ Assemblies and the European Green Deal: A Perfect (Mis)Match?

    The European Green Deal has missed a key chance to tap into the recent deliberative wave across Europe. Yet the green transition is ongoing and must accelerate – with citizens at its core. Its success hinges on meeting people’s needs and embedding social impact in strong environmental policies. Citizens’ assemblies offer a way to ensure voices are heard at all levels, from local communities to EU institutions. This publication explores early lessons and opportunities for shaping a green transition that truly serves the public interest.

    The Raw Materials Rush

    This publication highlights how the EU approaches the use of resources from other countries, most often from the Global South. It outlines the mechanisms the EU uses to access these resources under the most favorable conditions for itself, often at the expense of the countries from which the resources originate. In addition, the publication provides an overview of the necessary changes that would make the negotiations and agreements the EU enters into with resource-rich countries fairer and more beneficial for the countries whose resources are being exploited.

Are the Protests detracting from or supporting tourism in Serbia?

Aleksandar Vučić has repeated that the protests are harming Serbia's economy and tourism. Tourist activity in March has indeed declined, but are the protests to blame for this, or have they contributed to a different kind of tourism?
