The Action Plan for the Implementation of the Sofia Declaration on the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans 2021-2030 has put forward several objectives that are in line with EU policies for soil conservation. To this end, the establishment of the Soil Partnership for Western Balkans as an open forum for gathering of all stakeholders in the region would be the perfect entity to discuss and exchange knowledge, data, best practices and experiences about sustainable soil management. This process started in 2021 under the leadership of the Regional Rural Development Standing Working Group in South Eastern Europe (SWG). soil conservation, partnership, Western Balkans https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:2687 ISSN: 2459-5551 eng 58. hrvatski i 18. međunarodni simpozij agronoma application/pdf 1263574 bytes
