The mayor of Sombor, Mr Antonio Ratkovic said, \u201cwe all know that the wooded areas in Vojvodina are small and that we all should give our best to increase them.

;CACAK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The planting of catalpa trees in the garden of the National Museum in Cacak was performed by Maja Gojkovic, the minister of culture and information, and the ambassador of the\u00a0Union\u00a0of\u00a0Myanmar, H.E Thurain Thant Zin, and the mayor of Cacak, Mr Milun Todorovic as well.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis symbolic act of planting a tree means petitioning to the entire Serbia and all local self-governments and companies to consider the option to join the national project of \u201cZelena Srbija\u201d, so that following the modernization of our cities and the state, we could give though to the possibility to heal our environment, and the best way to achieve this is to grow new plants and trees\u201d, said Ms Gojkovic.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIn the past years, the awareness of the environmental protection has been risen in general population. The adverse effect on the environment is evident and visible, and people encounter this on their daily basis. Climate changes, global warming, air, water and soil pollution are the major examples. Since we all share this planet, we are all responsible for the environmental protection and preservation\u201d, said the Ambassador of the Union of Myanmar to Serbia, H.E. Thurain Thant Zin<\/p>\n\n

As a part of the project of \u201cZelena Srbija\u201d ten trees of narrow-leafed ash were planted in Savska Avenue in Sabac.<\/p>\n\n

Such actions benefit Sabac as the city of the future with a number of nice, well-arranged and healthy areas for the generations yet to come\u201d, concluded Mr Pajic.<\/p>\n\n

BEOCIN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The fifth place where the project of \u201cZelena Srbija\u201d took place was the municipality of Beocin where the seedlings of catalpa bignonioides ‘Nana’\u00a0and rose-acacia were planted.

Mr Lassi H\u00e4rm\u00e4l\u00e4 said that any activity contributing to making our planet greener significantly helps the combat against climate changes in general. \u201cSustaining the balance between the preservation and use is very important. In Finland, in case of each tree cut, there have to be new seedlings planted. We also have the obligation to maintain the biodiversity by protecting and preserving different types of forests.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI firmly believe that the green and the healthy are the sides of the same coin. Everybody deserves to live in a healthy surroundings, and thus, I would like to express my gratitude for the realization of this project, or any other project with the aim of greener Serbia\u201d, said Lassi H\u00e4rm\u00e4l\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n

The mayor of Beocin, Ms Mirjana Malesevic Milkic proudly said that Beocin was among ten municipalities taking part in the project of \u201cZelena Srbija\u201d, and pointed out that it was definitely not the end of making this municipality greener.<\/p>\n\n

By realizing the project of \u201cZelena Srbija\u201d, SRBATOM, as a socially responsible institution, wants to give its contribution to raising the awareness on the importance of afforestation in Serbia, but also to exchange experience with the countries with diplomatic offices in Belgrade.<\/p>\n\n
