2017 - NATIONAL REPORT OF PARTIES ON THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONVENTION ON THE

CONSERVATION OF MIGRATORY SPECIES OF WILD

ANIMALS

The deadline for submission of the reports is 24 April 2017. The reporting period is from May 2014 to

April 2017.

Parties are encouraged to respond to all questions. Parties are also requested to provide comprehensive answers,

including, where appropriate, a summary of activities, information on factors limiting action and details of any

assistance required.

The reporting format was agreed by the Standing Committee at its 40th Meeting (Bonn, November 2012) for

mandatory use by Parties, for reports submitted to the Eleventh Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP11). The

45th meeting of the Standing Committee recommended the use of the same format for reports submitted to COP12,

with necessary adjustments to take into account relevant COP11 decisions, in particular amendments to the

Appendices and resolutions.

COP Resolution 9.4 adopted at Rome called upon the Secretariats and Parties of CMS Agreements to collaborate in the

implementation and harmonization of online reporting implementation. The CMS Family Online Reporting System (ORS)

has been successfully implemented and used by AEWA in their last Meeting of the Parties (MOP 5, 2012) reporting

cycle. CMS now offers the Convention’s Parties to use the ORS for submitting their national reports for the COP11

(2014) reporting cycle.

there are also other organizations included in protection and study of birds, League for Ornithological Action of

Serbia published the manual "Birds of Serbia and areas of international importance" which was financed by

the Secretariat for Environmental Protection of Belgrade in the frame of Competition for financing the NGO in

2007...etc. For example, Wildlife Conservation Society "Mustela" from Belgrade and Dutch Mammal Society

(Zoogdiervereniging), realized the project "Bats and environmental impact assessment: tools for

implementation of the European Habitats directive and the EUROBATS agreement in Serbia" with the help of

the Natural History museum Belgrade and the support of the Ministry of Environment, Mining and Spatial

Planning of RS. the result of the project 2011. was he manual for environmental experts and consultancies,

II. Appendix I species

1. BIRDS

1.1 General questions on Appendix I bird species

1. Is the taking of all Appendix I bird species prohibited by the national implementing legislation cited in

Table I(a) (General Information)?

☑ Yes

1a. If the taking of Appendix I bird species is prohibited by law, have any exceptions been granted to the

prohibition?

☑ No

2. Identify any obstacles to migration that exist in relation to Appendix I bird species:

☑ Habitat destruction

☑ Pollution

☑ Other

› disturbance

2a. What actions are being undertaken to overcome these obstacles?

› It has been undertaken revitalization of some endangered habitats. Prohibition of wood and grass cutting

near nests. For some species there has been placed nest boxes. Some nesting sites are kept in silence by

scientists who study them, so that curious would not jeopardize nests, eggs and finally offsprings. Monitoring

of species, bird banding and tagging in order of better insight of the population. It has been also started with

preliminary designation of potencial Natura 2000 sites.

2b. Please report on the progress / success of the actions taken.

› Because of habitat loss, Falco vespertinus accepted nest boxes. Because they lack of food Aquila heliaca and

Haliaeetus albicilla both regularly come at feeding sites during winter time.

Erecting (installing) artificial carrier baskets on electric poles for white stork in order to decrease electrocution.

2c. What assistance, if any, does your country require in order to overcome these obstacles?

› Technical and financial support for relevant conservation actions and projects.More technical support and

experience of other countries that already have wind turbines.

3. What are the major pressures to Appendix I bird species (transcending mere obstacles to migration)?

☑ Poaching

☑ Other

› Hunting of protected birds (Anser erythropus), disturbances at nest site (Haliaetus albicilla), poisoning of

birds' prey at feeding sites (Aquila heliaca, Neophron percnopterus), habitat destruction and pollution on

breeding grounds (Falco naumanni), lack of appropriate nest site management (Aythya nyroca, Haliaetus

albicilla).

3a. What actions have been taken to prevent, reduce or control factors that are endangering or are likely to

further endanger bird species beyond actions to prevent disruption to migrating behaviour?

› /


› /

3c. Describe any factors that may limit action being taken in this regard:

› Lack of stronger control of hunters during hunting season and lack of control of their own hunting quotes

which are usually apart from real and scientific facts.

Additional legislation for more bird species.

Signing Agreements (AEWA, EUROBATS) and MoU (Otis tarda) by the Government (expected).

Species monitoring (bird ringing)

3d. What assistance, if any, does your country require to overcome these factors?

› Financial support for conservation projects and technical support for raising awareness of importance of

migrating birds in order to prevent bycatch and pouching

The Iron Gates dams located just below the Iron Gates gorge between Romania and Serbia are the largest

obstacles on the Danube for sturgeons. Constructed in the 1970s and 1980s, they make up the largest

hydropower dam and reservoir system along the entire Danube. The dams restrict migratory sturgeons to 863

kilometres of the river and cut off important spawning sites in the Middle Danube.
