About us
Coalition 27 was established by civil society organizations in 2014 with the aim of monitoring and contributing to the process of harmonization and implementation of the policies and regulations of the Republic of Serbia with the EU acquis in the field of environment and climate change (Chapter 27 in the EU accession negotiations).
Coalition 27 advocates and encourages public participation in the Republic of Serbia’s accession negotiations with the European Union and proposes solutions that will contribute to the protection and improvement of the environment and the quality of life of citizens.
Our activities
Coalition 27 publishes the annual ‘Shadow Report’, which follows the publication of the European Commission Report. The Shadow Report provides an overview of the achievements of the Republic of Serbia in the areas of Chapter 27, Environment and Climate Change and provides recommendations on how to improve existing processes. The report is made public and sent to the relevant national and European institutions.
Coalition 27 prepares contributions twice a year for the European Commission’s Annual Report on Serbia (Enlargement Report).
The values we stand for
Democracy
The environmental decision-making process, taking into account the specificities and needs of local communities and social groups, access to information, openness of public administration and timely involvement of citizens in the decision-making process.
Responsibility
The obligation of public office holders to answer citizens’ questions of public importance and, on the other hand, for citizens to understand their rights and obligations. The prerequisites for the realization of this principle are the existence of the rule of law, the transparency of the decision-making process and the democratic process of defining the public good.
Partnership
Teaming up to achieve a common goal of protecting and improving the environment, as well as greater impact on decision makers, public visibility, increased resources, capacity and shared responsibility.
