the Republic of
Serbia is under
the coordination
of the Ministry
and that this
action was
presented like
one of its major
priorities. `We
have gathered
here to clean
our country.
Serbia is dirty
and polluted
country and the
consciousness
about this
problem is very
poor, so this
asks for this
action to be
implemented -
the action of
cleaning.
Cleaning Serbia
should unite all
of us. The
problems of
dirty country
exist and we
have to solve
them`- said
Minister Dulic
while opening
this meeting. He
reminded that
`every pollution
affects the
quality of life
and that
important task
of the Ministry
of environment
and spatial
planning is to
reduce the
tolerance level
of the whole
society
regarding this
matter`.
The overall
objective of
this sort of
action is not of
short period of
time – simple
fast cleaning of
city dumps, but
the change of
our
consciousness on
the significance
of environment
that will only
bring to the
result of having
permanent and
durable
solutions.

Nis, also spoke

and emphasized
that Nis has
positive
experiences of
organizing
ecological
actions and
campaigns. Our

young people
education.

NGOs,
educational
institutions and
public communal
sector is
