Summary/Abstract: By establishing the National Council for the Geoheritage of Serbia, with 16 working groups and a large number of experts, and by involvement in the activities of the ProGEO – European Association for the Conservation of the Geological Heritage, a relatively new, interesting, and attractive activity filed was created in scope of the geo-professions, along with more favourable conditions and predispositions for a better organised approach and a more active relationship towards the geo-assets in our nature and for their more effective protection. Following the recommendation of the ProGEO – European Association for the Conservation of the Geological Heritage, the Project "Inventory of the Geoheritage Objects in Serbia" was launched, with the purpose to collect data on proposals for the geoheritage objects that reflect the most important moments in the development of the Earth's crust on the territory of Serbia, with a recommendation to protect representative examples of particular value and save them for future generations. The working groups for geomorphology and speleology have collected data for a wider list of objects that, according to any criterion, fulfill the minimal conditions to be included into the inventory of geoheritage objects (210+80), from 650 and enlisted in the Register of Protected Natural Heritage Assets of Serbia.
