Abstract: Transition of Serbiaʼs waste management. Serbia‟s waste management is in its initial state. This paper focuses on the transition of the waste management system in the period 2006 till 2016 giving a projection on future developments till 2019. Using the phase-model of waste management - introduced by Klampfl-Pernold and Gelbmann in 2006- the current state is evaluated. Moreover, important factors and drivers for the transition are detected and analysed. The assessment showed an improvement of the overall situation of the waste management. A gradual transition towards an integrative waste management can be observed. The main tasks detected are
comprehensive and regular data acquisition, implementation of a separate waste collection with higher level of coverage, sanitation of landfills, waste recovery and awareness raising.
