Komparatvna analiza nacionalnih strategija održivog razvoja Republika Srbije, Crne Gore i Hrvatske
Comparative Analysis Of National Sustainable Development Strategies In The Republics Of Serbia, Montenegro, And Croatia

Summary/Abstract: Sustainable development has become one of the key elements in formulating and implementing development policies in the world. It can be defined as "the development that meets present needs without endangering the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". In addition to that, it is a targetoriented, longterm, comprehensive political process that affects all aspects of life (economic, social, environmental, and institutional) at all levels. The concept of sustainable development implies the harmonization of economic, social, and environmental requirements. The goal of sustainable development strategies is to balance three key factors, as pillars of sustainable development: sustainable economic growth and economic and technological development, sustainable development of society based on social balance, and environmental protection with rational management of natural resources, combining them into a whole, supported by appropriate institutional framework. In this paper, there are two main aims: first, to describe the structural form and the basic characteristics of the national sustainable development strategies in Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia; second, to perform a comparative analysis of these three national sustainable development strategies and to provide a review of their similarities and differences. The comparison is based on three criteria: economic, social, and ecological. More specifically, for each of these three aspects (economic, social and environmental) five criteria are set, yielding fifteen key criteria for sustainable development on which the analysis is based.
