If you care about the protection of nature and rare plant and animal species – you are the one we want! We invite you to participate in the photo competition “Natura 2000 in the frame”, which will last until November 27.

Our intention is to show the importance of preserving biodiversity in Serbia, and at the same time to show the beauty of our nature and the diversity of landscapes within the Natura 2000 network.
The topics you should focus on are nature (national parks, natural beauties, flora and fauna, water resources) and sustainability of human activities in protected areas, sustainable agriculture, sustainable tourism, and other commercial activities. Focus on nature and win valuable prizes in the form of equipment vouchers:
- Prize 60,000 RSD
- Prize 45,000 RSD
- Prize 35,000 RSD
The submitted works will be evaluated every week by our expert jury consisting of Team Leader of the EU project team for Natura 2000 in Serbia Ana Iñigo, Project Manager in the EU Delegation to Serbia Antoine Avignon, Project Coordinator at the Ministry of Environment Snezana Prokic, photographer Bojan Dzodan, multimedia artist Mina Radovic, and the Editor in Chief of Energy Portal Nevena Djukic.
Each week we will be publishing the best photos from the contest on our website. On these pages, you can see which photos were shortlisted in the first week of the photo competition “Natura 2000 in the frame”.
The photo competition is jointly organised by Energy Portal and the EU project Natura 2000. The Natura 2000 network is a network of protected areas in all European countries, which aims to preserve the most valuable species and habitats.
While you are waiting to catch the right moment on your photo, let us bring the rest of the articles in this Magazine to your attention.
Hungary’s improvements in the field of environmental protection are impressive, which is also acknowledged by relevant international organizations. Answers to the questions about how they have made such a success and what is the common goal in energy sector that Hungary and Serbia share, are to be found in the interview with the ambassador of Hungary in Serbia Attilával Pintér.
It was also inspiring talking to Ivan Karic, the state secretary to the Ministry of environmental protection, who finds young, engaged and educated people to be Serbia’s greatest potential when it comes to efforts in environmental protection.
How Ljubljana has achieved its green rankings, we asked Zoran Jankovic, the mayor of the Slovenian capital, which was nominated the Green Capital of Europe in 2016. At the time, we introduced vehicle sharing called “car sharing” which has exclusively electric cars in its fleet.
Last but not least!
Frame some precious moment while you are in nature. We are waiting for your photos!
