| Summary: | Today, forest genetic resources are confronted with numerous biotic and abiotic factors that endanger them, and there is often a need to take concrete measures for their conservation. The aim of this paper is an overall review of the most important national strategic and legislative frameworks that regulate conservation and directed utilisation of forest genetic resources in Serbia. National strategic and legislative frameworks related to conservation and directed utilisation of forest genetic resources are defined in the field of sustainable development, environmental protection, nature conservation, and forestry. Numerous strategic documents from these areas directly or indirectly regulate the conservation and directed use of FGRs in Serbia. However, in legislative frameworks, the problem of forest genetic resources conservation is not recognized as separate. In this sense, the analysis of national legislative framework shows that there are no legal regulations that directly refer to the conservation and directed utilisation of forest genetic resources. A number of strategic documents that regulate this area indicate that there are possible overlaps of proposed measures in several documents. Therefore, the basic recommendation is implementation of measures defined in the Draft of the Program of conservation and directed use of forest genetic resources for the period of 2016-2025. |
