In Serbia, Strategic Environmental Assessment was introduced in 2004 under the Law on Strategic Environmental Assessment ("Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia 135/04). Previous experience in the application of this instrument is not recorded as well as the appropriate theoretical background so the introduction of SEA in Serbia was without adequate practical and scientific support. Although the Law on SEA is in line with the basic methodological and procedural framework of the Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment (SEA Directive), that was recognized as the only potential taking into account the implementation while as the difficulties were distinguish non-harmonized legal requirements, time period for adjustment, lack of the necessary guidelines and the expertise (Crncevic, 2005). Therefore, it was expressed concern about the possibility of improvisation in the implementation of the provisions of the Law and thus affecting the quality of SEA (Stojanovic, Spasic, 2006). Some of the first experiences in the implementation of this instrument in practice indicate that the decisions for SEA were usually made automatically and the whole procedure takes a long time (Josimovic, Crncevic, 2006). However, even after several years of noticeable results in the practice still the main problem is non-existing of an adequate system of indicators while available Guidelines for SEA from 2007 do not cover all phases of SEA and do not have the connection to the current Law on planning and building (Stojanovic, Mitrovic, 2007). In addition, what should be pointed that so far has not been done anything significant in terms of strengthening the process where only some results have been achieved in terms of the quality of the SEA Report, what proves that there are tendencies towards the establishment of SEA as an administrative instrument, without important influence to the planning process (Crncevic, 2009). The results from practice are of the great importance as they steer the development of this instrument towards innovation within methodological and procedural frameworks. Presented overview of practice the SEA for the Waste Management Regional Plan for 11 Municipalities in Kolubara region represent the continuation of the research results presented in the paper: Impact evaluation within Strategic Environmental Assessment: The Case Study of the Waste Management Regional Plan for Kolubara region in Serbia (Josimovic, Crncevic, 2009).
