Serbia, host country for the Sixth Ministerial Conference
“Environment for Europe” in October 2007, once again has an
independent Ministry for Environmental Protection (MEP). Following elections
in January, the Serbian Parliament approved a new government on May 15.

previously—with the re-established MEP amongst them. Under the previous
government, environmental issues were managed by the former Ministry for
Science and Environment.
The new Minister for Environmental Protection is Sasha Dragin, who was
born in Sombor in 1972. Dragin graduated in 1999 from the Faculty of Agriculture
in Novi Sad, earned a master’s degree in 2003, and received his
doctorate earlier this year. his previous post was Undersecretary of Agriculture,
Water Management and Forestry of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.
He is also an assistant teacher at the University of Novi Sad’s
Faculty of Agriculture, specialising in molecular genetics of domestic
animals.
