Internationally granted and recognized awards, that a city could win,
represent humongous capital for the city itself but also for the entire state.
Starting from the support for improvement and empowerment of certain
aspects, all the way to boosting number of tourists, a nomination process
brings entire series of direct and indirect benefits. One of such awards is
the European Green Capital that requires, similar to other competitions of
that kind, serious preparation process and significant fulfilment of
preconditions. Judging by the documents prepared by or in cooperation
with the Belgrade city Secretariat for Environmental Protection,
environmental filed is one of the most covered when it comes to the city
development. However, qualities of a green capital depend on
substantially more complex set of factors than just an active engagement
of an institution or a sector. In addition, Belgrade differentiates from the
cities that have been awarded the European Green City ti...tle so far for
being a non-EU city and for still undergoing an intense urban
transformation followed by economic challenges – characteristic for
transitional countries.
In September 2018, the Mayor of Belgrade signed an agreement letter
with the Mayor of Ljubljana (the European Green Capital for 2016), thus
establishing official cooperation in experience and knowledge exchange
on the matter of nomination and winning the Green Capital title.
Therefore, the main focus of this article will be review of current state of
Belgrade‘s environmental qualities and other preconditions necessary for
the European Green City competition nomination. Indicating the
difference between where it currently is and where it should be, the
results are expected to help in the Belgrade‘s nomination process, but also
to be an example for any other European city with the similar ambition.
