Abstract
Environmental protection fund has been constituted and has been operating for
gathering financial means for investing in preservation and protection of the
environment in Serbia in the past seven years. The idea of creating a special fund
was based on definition of particular sources of gathering funds and their
dedicated investment in preservation and protection of natural goods, values and
capitals.
Until its recent termination in the end of 2012, the Environmental protection fund
of the Republic of Serbia presented unique, specialised national financial
institution through which the funds were provided for financing ecology projects.
The fund was formed on the initiatives that were started during the 1990’s by
United Nations with a goal of supporting environmental protection investment
programs. Unfortunately, the fund in Serbia had a short life so there was no
creation of assumptions for the long-term empiric research of its potential role.
The doubts that within the fund there were speculative financial transactions lead
to political decision to terminate the fund. Later institutional solutions, however,
show that the main cause of the fund termination is in conducting centralisation of
gathering financial compensations for using natural values, and at the same time
to lose the trail of dedicated investment of funds in environmental protection from
the total amount of the budget. The Environmental protection fund was planned as
non-profitable institution unlike regular investment funds. This paper first presents
a short overview of ways of functioning of regular investment funds. Regardless of
the fundamental differences in goals it was possible to use some of the experience
in the work of the Environmental protection fund. The paper gives comprehensive
presentation of the aspects of organization, business, creation of incomes as well
as the fields of using the Fund’s resources.
