The final session will be held on June 4th 2015, and will be attended by representatives of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of the Republic of Serbia, Agency for the Environmental Protection, the Regional Environmental Centre, and UNDP Serbia, while the participation of the representative from the Embassy of France is announced, with the presentation of the upcoming event organized by the UN in Paris entitled ‘Towards climate change, Paris 2015”.
The event will bring together 50 representatives of youth offices, youth associations and young people across Serbia focused on environmental protection.
