What Will Be the Consequences of New Environmental Laws for Business?

The article examines how Serbia’s new environmental legislation, aligned with EU climate policy, will affect domestic businesses and industrial competitiveness. It explains the introduction of greenhouse gas pricing and carbon-related border measures, and how these mechanisms are designed to gradually mirror EU systems such as emissions trading and carbon border taxation.
Focusing on energy-intensive sectors, the piece highlights the growing cost of non-alignment with EU climate rules, particularly for exporters. It argues that while implementation will be gradual, companies will increasingly need to integrate decarbonisation and compliance into their core business strategies to remain competitive.
Without Adaptation, There Will Be No Civilization

During the 1980s, annual damages were estimated at €8.5 billion; today they are five times higher, reaching as much as €44.5 billion. A particular problem is that in Serbia and across the Western Balkans there is no developed insurance system to cover such losses, meaning the entire burden falls on citizens and public finances. Yet this is only the beginning, with many other issues still on the agenda.
“The financial industry has traditionally prioritised revenues over avoided losses. But the climate operates regardless of investment preferences, and avoided damage is always the cheapest form of gain.”

Media Partnerships
Over the past three years, the Adria Future Summit (former ESG Adria Summit) has developed a steadily expanding and increasingly strategic network of media partners, reflecting its growing role as a regional platform for sustainable development, responsible investment and sustainabilty-focused dialogue. The network now extends across all major outlets in Montenegro and includes national broadcasters and specialist channels from across the wider region.
Partnerships have broadened in both scale and substance: what began as general news coverage has evolved into thematic collaborations with platforms focused on investment, energy, the green transition, entrepreneurship, women’s leadership and public policy.
The summit’s approach goes beyond conventional coverage. Media partners are invited to contribute stories, perspectives and expertise directly into panels and discussions, recognising the role of journalism in shaping regional perceptions of sustainability and the future. In this way, the relationship is collaborative, media are treated as active participants in the dialogue rather than observers on the margins.
