On 28–29 April 2026, in Zlatibor, Serbia, was organized the Networking event of Public and Civil Sector Actors for Joint Communication Activities on Landscape Fire Prevention within the SDC’s Landscape Fire Management in the Western Balkans (LFMWB) Programme.
The event brought together representatives of public institutions, civil society organizations, protected area managers, researchers, and members of the National Landscape Fire Management (LFM) Network to strengthen cooperation and exchange experiences related to landscape fire prevention and climate-resilient forestry practices.
During the first day, members of the National LFM Network and organizations supported through the LFMWB Programme presented their activities and results in the field of landscape fire prevention and ecosystem protection. Discussions also focused on joint communication activities aimed at raising public awareness about responsible behavior in nature, especially during periods of increased fire risk.
