 Biodiversity can only be protected,
when the unsustainable socio-economic structures of today’s
society change. CEEweb for Biodiversity believes in the overarching
importance of sustainable development for accession countries.
The seminar for accession
countries in the Western Balkans entitled“EU accession – threats and
possibilities for rural development and biodiversity conservation” organized by CEEweb in cooperation with Association
for Nature, Environment and Sustainable Development "Sunce"
was held on 1-4 September 2008,
in Split, Croatia.
 The seminar themes were
grouped around three subjects:
- Sustainability and the EU
- Impact of EU accession
- Civil society
We looked at the general EU context of sustainability and
how the accession influenced biodiversity and rural development
in the 12 new member states.
Also, the current situation in the Balkan countries was discussed
and opportunity was provided to share experiences and good
practices between EU and accession countries.
Besides giving space for presentations, we involved participants
to interactively analyze problems and work out their own strategies
and actions as well.
