INTRODUCTION

The strategic goals of the City of Belgrade in waste management have been defined under the
Local Waste Management Plan of the City of Belgrade 2011-2020, which was adopted by the
Assembly of the City of Belgrade in 2011 (hereinafter: Local Waste Management Plan). According
to this Plan, the main strategic goal of the City of Belgrade is to minimize the impact of waste on
the environment and to increase the efficient use of waste as a resource in the City of Belgrade,i.e. to contribute to sustainable development through the establishment of a waste management
system that will provide control of waste production, waste use and incentives for investment
and affirmation of economic opportunities arising from waste.
With the aim of improving the municipal waste management system and solving the problem of
the Vinca landfill which has been present for decades, in 2015 a competitive dialogue process
was launched by the City of Belgrade for selecting a private partner. Following the procedure inaccordance with the RS regulations, and in compliance with high EU standards on waste
management and environmental protection, the Public Private Partnership Contract (PPP) was
signed in 2017 by the City of Belgrade, represented by the Secretariat for the Environmental
Protection, and the private partner Beo Cista Energija d.o.o., a special purpose vehicle formed bySuez Groupe S.A.S (France), Itochu Corporation (Japan) and Marguerite Fund.
The implementation of the Project caused involuntary Involuntary resettlement refers toresettlement of Project Affected Persons (PAPs). In both physical (relocation or loss ofaccordance with the Public-Private Partnership Contract, the shelter) and economic displacement(loss of assets or access to assets
City of Belgrade was obliged to hand over to the private that leads to a loss of income sources
partner the location, free of all persons and facilities, in or other means of livelihood) as aorder to bring the location (land) to the planned purpose result of project-related land
determined by the PPP Contract. It included the physical acquisition. – IFC Performance
relocation of the informal settlement on the Vinca landfill, Standard 5, Paragraph 1.
which mainly consisted of Roma households. It also included
providing assistance to waste pickers working on the landfill, who collect waste as secondary raw
materials, in obtaining alternative sources of livelihood, as they would effectively be banned fromentry to the site.
The City of Belgrade was obliged to develop and implement a Resettlement Plan for thehouseholds living in the informal settlement on the Vinča landfill site, as well as a Livelihood
Restoration Plan (hereinafter referred to as: LRP) for waste pickers from the landfill to manage
and mitigate negative effects of the project and restore and improve the living standards of the
PAPs. As the project is partly funded from loans taken from international financing institutions,this plan had to be in line with the requirements of these institutions.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1

Planning basis and site description

The existing Vinca landfill is located in the east part of the City of Belgrade, in the Vinca settlementon the right bank of the Danube river. The location is surrounded by several settlements (Veliko
selo, Slanci, Mirijevo and Vinča), all sufficiently far from the landfill, with the closest houses 1.1
km away (group of houses in the settlement called Veliko selo). The landfill was operated by the
Public Enterprise City Sanitation (PECS) until the takeover. The Local Waste Management Plan
proposed the establishment of an integrated waste management system in the City of Belgrade.
For this purpose, the Detailed Regulation Plan of the "Vinca" sanitary landfill was adopted at thesession of the City Assembly on June 2, 2015, later amended and supplemented. The integrated
waste management system relies on modernizing the waste sorting and recycling process by theCity of Belgrade and increasing in capacity and quality of waste disposal on the Vinca landfill,including a new landfill and an Energy-from-Waste facility. The boundary of the Local Waste
Management Plan includes parts of the territories of the urban municipalities of Grocka (part of
CM of Vinca) and Zvezdara (parts of CM of Mali Mokri Lug and CM of Slanci), and is defined byroads: Smederevski put, Beogradska, Nova 1, Nova 2 and Nova 3, the Vinca landfill construction
complex, as well as connections of roads and infrastructure to the existing/proposed network.
In the northern part of the planned landfill construction complex, next to the existing landfill
fence, an informal settlement of waste pickers had been formed in the past. The census
conducted in 2016, recorded 17 households in this settlement, whose members mostly collected
and sorted secondary raw materials on the landfill and sold them to PECS, based on signed
agreements. There were also other waste pickers engaged in waste collection, who did not livein the informal settlement. They were engaged in wastepicking either directly through PECS or
through one of the companies which had contracts with PECS, namely: Sava International d.o.o.,Sargon d.o.o., Greentech d.o.o., Escopi d.o.o. and, Eco Turtle d.o.o. The census for engaged
wastepickers was carried out in 2018, which is defined as a cut-off date for LRP eligibility. Afterthe cut-off date, a number of rounds of interviews/consultations were conducted in April, May
and June 2021, as explained in detail in the chapter 5.2 Socioeconomic survey from 2021.
The number of waste pickers, including members of the resettled families, in 2018 was estimatedto be 246 (Provided in Annex 1). Based on the engagement lists provided by PECS and the 5
recycling companies operating on the landfill in the collection and purchase of secondary raw
materials (Annex 11), the number of waste pickers who were actively involved on the landfill
varied (decreased) over time.
On June 30th (one month prior to Interim Service Commencement Date) which presents the cutoff date for all wastepickers entering the Landfill, there were officially 34 wastepickers whose
contracts were terminated. Those 34 wastepickers are fully eligible for LRP. As none of the eligible
34 wastepickers has approached CoB/BCE/PUC, even though contacted several times to apply
for job opportunities, these 34 wastepickers will be categorized as any other waste picker
identified in 2018 and will still remain eligible for the LRP provided that they apply for any LRPPage 7 of 95

related support. Besides those 34 wastepickers, eligible ones for LRP are also working competent
members of the 17 resettled families (in total 16 persons).
The involvement of IFC and EBRD on the Project implies the implementation of IFC PerformanceStandards for Environmental and Social Sustainability and EBRD Environmental and Social Policy(2014) Performance Requirements. In accordance with their requirements, the Resettlement
Action Plan was developed to guide the process of resettlement and livelihood restoration of the
project affected people.
The resettlement of the 17 households was conducted in December 2018. The conditions forresettlement are defined in the Resettlement Action Plan adopted in September 2018 and arereviewed separately.
The prepared RAP also included initial Livelihood restoration Plan. This document however
further elaborates the livelihood restoration measures and introduces measures that consider
the restrictions in the national legislation while still being effective for the livelihood restorationof affected wastepickers.
2.2

Project Change Timeline

Summary of changes in project timeline showing the initial project milestones at the time of
preparation of RAP/LRP and further delays/revised timelines for project contract signing, start ofconstruction, site delivery, interim services commencement date, date for ending waste picking
activities by the waste pickers, is shown in the graph on the following page.
There has been not any change in the amount of waste received and segregated by waste pickers
since the project started. The reduction in number of waste pickers at site is not related with theWtE project implementation, but it is due to cancellation of activities by 3 recycling companies
during 2019, and termination of contracts with wastepickers by PECS.

Summary of change in numbers of wastepickers

As reported within RAP the number of wastepickers eligible for Livelihood Restoration is in total
246 (Provided in Annex 1), however RAP report states that this list does not include persons who
were also physically displaced from the waste dump, and are also engaged with waste collection
and solely for PECS, who are already registered as persons who have the right to assistance with
employment under section 8.1 (a total of 16 persons).
By cross referencing the names and the data from the provided lists it has been determined that
ressettled persons are included in the overall list of 246 wastepickers. Even more our list provides
actual number of 18 ressettled persons eligible for Livelihood Restoration.
Also as mentioned in RAP the number 246 is the number of wastepickers that were allowed toenter Vinca dump site. However, from the first surveys conducted in 2018 and throughout
following period it was determined that out of 246 there is a much lower number of wastepickers
who were actually active at entering Vinca dump site.
As shown in the table below there are additional lists of wastepickers for 2019 and 2020, whowere allowed to enter the site, but again the number does not present the factual situation. In
reality maximum number of wastepickers recorded entering or working at the Vinca site is about
70.

The following chart shows the distribution of wastepickers per company in 2018. There is a slightdisparity between the number of wastepickers per company provided in RAP and this report, but
the total number is the same 246. We believe that this distribution is more accurate as details foreach and every individual from the provided list has been cross checked.

Also as reported within RAP, a total of 89 (Provided in Annex 2) wastepickers have been initiallyinterviewed during 2018 under the patronage of Cob’s Secretariat for Social Welfare. However
further detailed analysis showed that only 66 of interviewed people were from the original 246
list provided within RAP, while the rest of 23 were not found on the mentioned list. We believethat those 231 persons, when they heard about the LRP opportunities, even though not on theoriginal list of 246 made on the cut-off date, have shown up at the interviews hoping to get
included in LRP as well.

Outside of 246 list

These facts bring us to conclusion that a realistic number of eligible wastepickers for Livelihood
Restoration is 66 However, BCE will put all its efforts to reach out to all 246 wastepickers, but if
it does not succeed the minimum number of wastepickers to be engaged in LRP discussions
should be 66.
Even though, 23 of the survey participants did not have contracts with any of the companies
active on the landfill and probably showed up for the interviews to enjoy LRP entitlements withno grounds, as informal wastepickers might be eligible for LRP entitlements, the 2021 survey
tried to cover those 23 individuals.
Another important argument in defining the realistic number of wastepickers is the fact that 4
out of 6 companies officially stopped working on Vinca Landfill during 2019 (Sargon and Eco
Turtle) and 2020 (Escorpi and Greentech), while only Sava International and PECS were still
operating at the landfill during 2021.
Besides this fact, vast majority of contracts between PECS and individual wastepickers have been
terminated in May 2020, leaving only 10 wastepickers working for PECS in 2021. The reason for
terminating the contracts with individuals, as stated by PECS, is due to the fact that they havenot been delivering recyclables to PECS, but selling it elsewhere.

Page 12 of 95

Also recycling company Sava International has reduced the number of employed wastepickers
from 2019 (37) to 2021 (24). The following chart shows the trend of decrease in number ofwastepickers.
2.4
LRP Scope
As elaborated in the previous subchapter the decrease in number of wastepickers over the past
three years is significant. However, we are highlighting that the presented numbers reflect thefigures of „wastepickers who are allowed to enter Vinca dump site“. In reality the factual statusis significantly lower. In other terms the number of wastepickers eligible for Livelihood
Restoration in 2018 was 66, as discussed in the previous chapter, and the number of really active
wastepickers in 2021 were about 20 (only 10 out of 24 were really active in Sava International,
and 10 in PECS).
The realistic number of “really active“ wastepickers out of the list of “wastepickers who areallowed to enter the site” is shown in the graph below.
Figure 4 - Realistic number of active wastepickers

This graphic is prepared based on the received data from PECS, which is based on regular entry
and activity of each individual wastepicker in the past 3 years (Statement Attached in Annex 8).
Given the large disparity in the number of wastepickers, and big changes over the years, BCE has
decided to hire Roma Activist, Mrs. Ljiljana Krstić to conduct a survey and initiate engagementwith wastepickers, in order to find all 246 wastepickers that were listed in 2018. Interviews andfield visit have been organized during March and April 2021, in order to determine the factual
state in regard to number and possibilities for reaching out to „missing“ wastepickers.

Page 13 of 95

The LRP includes the waste pickers who were active in waste picking on the landfill until the dateof campaign in 2021 and the eligibility of the ones who applied until the date of interimcommencement date.
Wastepickers are assessed case by case based on the certain criteria. Eligibility criteria for LRP is
as follows:••••

Wastepickers who were physically relocated from the landfill site,
Wastepickers whose contracts were terminated because of project initiation
Wastepickers from the eligible 246 List, who may apply by Service Commencement Date
Any other wastepickers able to prove that they were active on the Landfill in the period
from 2018 cut-off date, until Project Commencement Date (Q3 2019)
2.5

Assessment of the actual number of wastepickers actively involvedin waste picking

Due to the informal nature of the work, which depends on weather conditions, availability ofother work (like seasonal work in agriculture, construction) and/or amount of available
resources, the number of wastepickers working on the landfill varies significantly.
Although the eligibility of the 246 wastepickers from the original RAP list is not brought into
questions, it is estimated that the wastepickers actively working on the landfill over the last
couple of years will have the most benefit from the LRP, as their livelihood is still heavily
dependent on the income from waste picking. The next part of this report will aim to estimate
the number of affected people who are most likely to benefit from the LRP in the short term.
Records from PECS (letter dated 05 Apr 2021) confirm that the average number of waste pickers
recorded on the landfill annually since the last survey is:Page 14 of 95

During the period from the survey cut of date, December 2018 until one month before the ISCD,
it was noticed that number of waste pickers has significantly reduced. The record shows that the
average number of waste pickers on the daily bases has been 30, and in the peak at around 70.
These records are based on the visual inspection on the site by the BCE/|SVO representatives,
drone images, as well as Monthly site inspections conducted by IES Arup. This number is also
proven by the list of waste pickers who expressed interest in being put on the list at the entry
gate and checked by security. This list was provided by PECS and includes waste pickers from
active recycling companies. Total number of waste pickers identified as active and being on theentrance list is in 2021 is 34 although typically, they are not all active each day. (Attached tablein Annex 4).

Due to ongoing activities on site, restricted access and notifications related to changes in thelandfill management, a certain number of waste pickers stopped coming to the landfill. Records
from PECS show steady reduction in the average number of people accessing the landfill. There
are several potential explanations for this – some of them might have independently foundalternative sources of income, some have moved away to other areas or countries, some may be
deceased or incarcerated. The survey conducted by Roma Activist, which was hired by BCE wasinvestigating the reasons for reduced number of wastepickers on the landfill.
Out of the 7 recorded companies in 2018, one was not active at all (Eko Unija Nematali) during
the census (in 2018). Which brings us to 6 companies (PECS is one and other 5 are recycling
companies).
Since then, the number of companies operating on the landfill also decreased. From theconsultations with waste pickers, it was confirmed that the companies had terminated contracts
with waste pickers.
Secretary of Social Affaires has requested PECS as well as Recycling companies to provide the listsof active waste pickers for the period from 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Two companies provided replies:• Sava International d.o.o. replied that they have only 9 waste pickers active and that allother waste pickers have stop showing up at work by their own will.
• Greentech d.o.o. replied that they do not have any active waste pickers on site as that asa company have stopped with recycling activities in April 2020
Unfortunately, there is no record provided by these companies about the original number ofactive waste pickers on the landfill during the census in 2018.
Other companies did not reply, and their representatives were not reachable through thecontacts available in the PECS records (phone, email, postal address). As per the official statecompany registry (APR) three of these companies have been purchased by the same owner in2019 and have not been active on the landfill since then.
The company Eko Unija Metali d.o.o has also been contacted even though they were not formallypresent on the landfill during the census, but have been active on the landfill since 2019, andsome of the waste pickers listed in the 2018 census are now contracted by this company.
However, they have not replied to the request to provide data.
PECS have provided a list of 9 active waste pickers and statement that with most of the waste
pickers contracts were terminated during spring 2020, as they were not delivering any recyclables
to PECS but selling it “over the fence” which is in direct violation with their contracts.
The implementation of this LRP in the first phase of the implementation will focus on thewastepickers identified during the 2021 survey. For all other waste pickers from the initial list the
livelihood restoration will be available if they contact us. Suitable notifications inviting them tocome forward will be published at suitable locations (on the landfill entrance gate, at the NSE, atPage 16 of 95

the Social Welfare Secretariate, …) to reach as many waste pickers as possible. Wastepickers thatwere active until the ISCD will also be encouraged to share this information informally throughtheir community, and through campaign for reaching “missing” wastepickers which has been
conducted.
2.6Campaign for reaching “missing“ wastepickers

As elaborated in the previous sections and having in mind that the number of active wastepickers
has drastically declined since 2018, BCE has initiated campaign for reaching “missing”
wastepickers in March 2021, in order to ensure equal opportunities for all eligible wastepickers.
During this campaign Roma Activist was hired by BCE in order to find alternative channels andreach out to missing waste pickers present on the Vinca Landfill in 2018, in order to give themthe opportunity to provide their contact details. Another reason for the visit was to analyze theinitial list of 246 wastepickers and compare them with the active status in 2021. While conducting
interviews on Vinca Landfill, Roma Activist handed over the contact form to all wastepickers
found on the Old Landfill body.
Contact form was handed over hoping to give more information and attract wastepickers for
future employment.
Based on the detailed analysis and previous experience, different ways of reaching out towastepickers have been determined:--

Handing out contact forms in person to wastepickers found on the Old Landfill (It has
been determined as primary and most productive way)
Placing the Contact Form on the entrance gate, where all wastepickers must pass upon
arriving to the Vinca Complex (Annex 2), and availability of the questionnaire at theentrance (Annex 3)
Calling the numbers obtained from present wastepickers during the visit of Roma Activist
Contacting recyclable companies, they worked for before contract termination (Annex 6)
Publishing advertisements in daily newspaper (Figure 8)

Contacting recyclable companies
All 6 companies have been contacted officially by Secretariate for Social Welfare to provide
necessary information.
Out of those 6 companies, 3 of them did not reply, as they are not active anymore in this field ofoperation, as they were sold out to the new owner in 2019-2020. Those companies are Sargon,
Escopi, and Eco Turtle.
The company Eko Unija Nematali is not active on the Vinca dump site since 2018. The remaining
companies Sava International and Greentech replied providing numbers of wastepickers for theprevious period, highlighting that Greentech is also not operational from April 2020.
Official letter is in the Annex 7.
Publishing advertisements in daily newspaper on 30.04.2021. and 01.05.2021.
The advertisements for reaching “missing” wastepickers has been initiated in 2 daily newspapers,
1 in Belgrade and the other one in Vojvodina, as most of the wastepickers have moved to
Vojvodina region (Novi Sad, Subotica, Novi Bečej, Kikinda, Zrenjanin, Temerin, Jaša Tomić, etc.)

Conclusion

Roma Activist hired by BCE, has visited the Old Landfill on March 27th and April 1st. During thevisit she has interviewed wastepickers on the Old Landfill and handed over the contact form towastepickers.
The methods used for this type of research are the following:-

Direct survey / face-to-face interview
Telephone survey

Direct survey / field survey was conducted at Vinca landfill on two occasions, first on Saturday,
March 27, 2021, followed by the visit on Thursday, April 1, 2021, in the period between 11 am
and 4 pm. Roma activist talked face-to-face with waste pickers who were present at the landfill
during the visit. Mrs. Krstić was able to obtain information about family members who were notpresent at that moment but who were also engaged in waste picking at the Vinca landfill during
2018.
The telephone survey was conducted from March 22 to April 10th. The people whose contact
information Roma Activist obtained were contacted. A large number of contacted wastepickers
could not have been reached. A certain number of phone numbers was non-existing, or out offunction.
Also, information was obtained from at least 5 persons who were active for a longer period of
the time and who were willing to cooperate and help determine the working status of missing
wastepickers at the Vinca Landfill.
All wastepickers eligible from cut-off date who approach to BCE/CoB through this campaign will
be included in the LRP eligibility entitlement matrix, throughout LRP lifetime.
Eligibility assessment
As stated, Waste pickers will be assessed case by case based on the certain criteria. Eligibility
criteria for LRP is as follows:•
Waste pickers who were physically relocated from the landfill site,•
Waste pickers whose contracts were terminated because of project initiation•
Waste pickers from the eligible 246 List, who applied by the ISCD•
Any other waste pickers able to prove that they were active on the Landfill in the period
from 2018 cut-off date, until Project Commencement Date (Q3 2019)
None of the listed subgroup of waste pickers has lost their livelihood resources after December
2018 as, after the cut-off date, waste pickers continued working on the old landfill until 2nd of
August when BCE took over responsibility on the old landfill. Waste pickers with contracts were
Page 22 of 95

working through PECS and Recycling companies until 1 month before scheduled ISCD which is 1stof June 2021 but continued entering until 2nd of August 2021. Waste pickers that did not havecontract either with PECS or with recycling companies were not restricted from entering old
landfill by PECS (as this was PECS responsibility).
Nevertheless, as reported under section 4, job opportunities have been already offered on
several occasions and never accepted by any waste picker indicating that they have theirunofficial income elsewhere. However, CoB/CoS/MoV/SVO will continue offering job
opportunities whenever possible. Therefore, the assessment of LR eligibility is as follows:
1. Waste pickers who were physically relocated from the landfill site, all able-to work individuals (16 identified through survey) were and will be in future contacted
directly and job opportunities offered to them, as well as education possibilities,
registration to NES, and school programs to their family members. Livelihood
restoration is/will be offered by SVO, PECS and other PUCs in Belgrade, for able-to work members of 9 Belgrade Families, by PUCs in Sabac for able-to -work members of
3 Sabac Families and by Municipality of Vladimirci able-to -work members of five
families. In the case that after 2nd of August 2021 job opportunities /or social security
was not offered to PAPs, they will be considered to be compensated throughunemployment assistance for their loss of livelihoods. If the job offer was rejected orthey did not apply for the social assistance, the compensation will not be considered.
The records of contacting them is and will be documented (phone call lists, sent mails
to their address, and statements signed if they rejected jobs/education, if they appear
at interview, or signed statements of two witnesses stating that they were invited andthey did not show up if they do not show up.
2. Waste pickers whose contracts were terminated because of project initiation (34waste pickers informed one month before ISCD and physically stopped entering old
landfill from 2nd of August 2021) were and will be in future contacted directly and job
opportunities offered to them, as well as education possibilities, registration to NES,
and school programs. In the case that after 2nd of August 202 job opportunities /or
social security was not offered to PAPs, they will be considered to be compensatedthrough unemployment assistance for their loss of livelihoods. If the job offer was
rejected or they did not apply for the social assistance, the compensation will not be
considered. The records of contacting them is and will be documented (phone calllists, sent mails to their address, and statements signed if they rejected
jobs/education, if they appear at interview, or signed statements of two witnesses
stating that they were invited, and they did not show up if they do not show up.
3. Waste pickers from the eligible 246 List, who may proof that they have been active
until Interim Service Commencement Date, will not be contacted directly as, there has
been number of attempts to reach out to them as reported under section 2.6 and they
have not approached back. However, if they contact BCE/CoB and can prove that the
Page 23 of 95

have been active, they will be considered to be eligible for registration at NES andoffered job opportunities.
4. Any other waste pickers able to prove that they were active on the Landfill in the
period from 2018 cut-off date, until Project Commencement Date (Q3 2019) will be
eligible in the same manner as previous group 3.
The records show, and as elaborated under section 2.5 that the waste pickers who were directly
impacted by the projects are group 1 and 2 while group 3 and 4 has not been active nor has
approached neither CoB nor BCE on any occasion.

3. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
3.1

Legislation of the Republic of Serbia

The legislation of the Republic of Serbia does not recognize informal settlements in the landacquisition process for projects of public interest. According to the regulations of the Republic of
Serbia, any person who unlawfully settles in or occupies someone else’s property, shall be forced
to leave it. Informal settlements are an example of unlawful occupation and use of someone’s
else property. On the other hand, international financing institutions recognize these types ofsettlement, and consider them entitled to certain compensation. The City of Belgrade
approached this resettlement of the Vinca informal settlement complying with domestic andinternational legal acts, endeavoring to provide the necessary assistance and support to the
inhabitants of this settlement (by providing assistance in finding alternative accommodation,
obtaining personal documents, obtaining basic social and health care services, education,acquiring training and employment).
The Resettlement Action Plan was based on the national legal regulation of the Republic of
Serbia, taking into account the principles specified under the documents that currently define
the social inclusion policy framework in Serbia, including:-the existing Strategy for the Social Inclusion of Roma Men and Women in the Republic of
Serbia 2016 - 2025,
the Baseline Study for development of the Strategy for Roma Inclusion in Serbia
harmonized with Europe 2020 Strategy,
the First and Second National Reports on social inclusion and poverty reduction in Serbia,
the National Program for Integration of the Republic of Serbia into the European Union,
the National Strategy for Sustainable Development,
the National strategy for Economic Development of the Republic of Serbia
and other relevant strategic documents.

There are similar guiding principles under these documents. As a first instance, the state is
expected to develop strategies and plans to avoid resettlement and are obliged to carry out
resettlement only as a final resort. During this process, the state is also obliged to protect andfulfill human rights of the inhabitants to be resettled, under several international legal acts (theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social andCultural rights, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, etc.) which protect the human right toadequate housing and related human rights.
Below is the list of the main Serbian legislation applicable to the project:

Page 25 of 95

-The Law on Expropriation provides for a legislative framework for the expropriation ofproperty in the Republic of Serbia for persons who have formally legal rights to property(land/facilities). Persons living on the land to be expropriated, who do not have a legal
right to the land and/or facilities they use, as it is the case with the persons living in thearea covered by this project and which is in the public ownership of the City of Belgrade,are not entitled to any compensation according to the Law on Expropriation in Serbia.

-

The Law on Housing and Maintenance of Residential Buildings deals with the issue of
housing of socially disadvantaged persons through the “Housing Support”. Accordingly,
various types of housing support are proposed, which the Republic of Serbia, at all levelsof government, provides to each its citizen who is homeless, that is, without anappropriate apartment in terms of this law, and from social, economic, and other reasonscannot, by its own means, solve the housing need under market conditions forhimself/herself and his/her household.

-

The Law on Social Protection guarantees all citizens the right to various forms of financialsocial benefits
and some social protection services.

-

Pursuant to the Law on Health Insurance of the Republic of Serbia, all vulnerable groups,
particularly the Roma, have the right to free health care.

-

The Law on Employment and Unemployment Insurance of the Republic of Serbia
provides for special measures aimed at protecting the most vulnerable groups (includingRoma), as well as the obligation of the National Employment Service to apply active
employment measures and ensure the application of affirmative action measures.

To exercise the above-mentioned rights, primarily in social protection, education, health andemployment
is closely linked to the possession of personal documents - ID cards, birth certificates, certificatesof citizenship and permanent residence.
3.2

International Financial Institution’s Requirements

The City of Belgrade has to respect the provisions of national legislation, but also to comply withthe requirements of the international financial institutions participating in financing the project.
The relevant requirements to be taken into account are as follows:-

IFC Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy, particularly IFC Performance Standard
no. 5, of the Land Acquisition and Involuntary Resettlement (2012)
EBRD Environmental and Social Policy (2014) particularly EBRD Performance
Requirement no. 5 Land Acquisition, Involuntary Resettlement and Economic
Displacement
Page 26 of 95

The summary of the standards and principles applicable are as follows:▪

avoid or, when unavoidable, minimize, involuntary resettlement and economic
displacement by exploring alternative project designs▪

mitigate adverse social and economic impacts from land acquisition or restrictions on
affected persons’ use of and access to assets and land by: (i) providing compensation forloss of assets at replacement cost; and (ii) ensuring that resettlement activities are
implemented with appropriate disclosure of information, consultation, and the informed
participation of those affected▪

restore or, where possible, improve the livelihoods and standards of living of displaced
persons8 to pre-displacement levels▪

improve living conditions among physically displaced persons through the provision ofadequate housing, including security of tenure at resettlement sites.

▪

set up an effective grievance mechanism during planning and implementation of theResettlement plan.
3.3

Gaps between National Legislation and IFC/EBRD Requirements

Despite a number of similarities between the objectives and approaches as well as substantial
overlaps between the IFC/EBRD requirements and the domestic legislation, some key differences
have also been identified.
The key gap between Serbian law and IFC/EBRD requirements which is being addressed throughthe development of this LRP concerns the recognition and addressing of informal income, namely
waste picking on the existing waste dump. The agreements of the waste pickers are not in linewith the national labor law, and therefore their employment on the landfill is considered informal
under the Serbian legislation. On the other hand, under the EBRD and IFC policies, all people
whose livelihoods, including informal ones, are affected by the project must be assisted to
improve or at least restore these livelihoods to pre-project levels.
The LRP also includes specific provisions required by IFC and EBRD Policies, such as consultations
with affected people, the establishment and implementation of a project grievance mechanism,
as well as monitoring the implementation of livelihood restoration measures and reporting on
progress and outcomes.

Page 27 of 95

4. LIVELIHOOD RESTORATION PROCESS TO DATERAP was adopted in 2018 which included reference to the livelihood restoration measures forthe wastepickers. In the period since then there have been several campaigns organized with theaim of finding alternative sources of income for the wastepickers. The text below summarizes
these activities and their outcomes.
4.1

City of Belgrade

The Secretariat for Social Protection, in partnership with the German International cooperation
agency – GIZ, under the project “Inclusion of Roma and other marginalized groups in Serbia”
conducted a survey of the families resettled from the Vinca landfill to social housing apartments,
in order to implement active employment and self-employment measures for Roma and othermarginalized groups in Belgrade. Five families which were resettled from the Vinca landfill tosocial housing apartments took part in this survey and expressed their willingness to participate
in vocational training for known employers, which was implemented early this year. All families
were informed about the date and the place of the interview by employees of the Secretariat forSocial Protection via phone, and the following participated: Jugoslav Mitrovic, Nikola Jovanovic,
Bosko Mitrovic, Indira Tahirovic, Snezana Arivovic.
In December 2020, employees of the Secretariat for Social Protection, under the mentioned
project, in cooperation with “Divac” foundation, offered jobs to male households’ members ofworking age in a construction company as assistant craftsmen (Official note 1-2). Only Stevica
Mladenovski and Miodrag Djelic were interested, all others refused. Stevica and Miodrag did notshow up at the interview scheduled for January 2021.
During November, the City of Belgrade Deputy Mayor’s Office, called all city companies to, inline with their capacities, provide information, as soon as possible, about job vacancies, as well
as opportunities to engage workers on temporary, casual, and seasonal jobs, with a worker’s
profile: incomplete primary education, completed primary education and completed secondary
education. In December, PUC “Gradsko zelenilo” (City Greenery) Belgrade provided information
about one (1) vacancy for the position of gardener, at least completed primary education
required. PUC “Gradsko osvetljenje” (City Lighting) provided information that they can employ
two (2) persons in 2021 on temporary – casual jobs – physical worker. Having obtained thisinformation about vacancies, employees of the Secretariat for Social Protection informed all
resettled households about these job opportunities and told them that if they were interested
to grant consent to the Secretariat for Social Protection to apply them with the employer (Official
note 1-2). None of the wastepickers applied for open vacancies.

City of Sabac

On December 23, 2020, in the Center for Social Work Sabac, a meeting was held with the families
of Ilija Mitrovic, Djordje Mitrovic and Dejan Mitrovic, which once lived and worked on the Vinca
landfill.
The City of Sabac has initiated process in registering all interested adults at NES.
4.3

officials it was reported that Jobs were offered to all resettled waste pickers in Vladimirci in thelocal Recycling Company on the positions of sorting plastic recyclables by color. The offered wage
was about 40.000 RSD. The recycling facility is about 1km from their settlements No one applied
for job, as they are unofficially stating that as officially employed, they are losing rights on social
assistance.
4.4

EPC Contractors Job opportunities

Request to maximize the employment for the waste pickers is embedded in the Labor
Management Plans (as part of binding document CESMP) of all EPC Contractors namely EPN,
CNIM and SVO.
Page 29 of 95

All EPC Contractors were requested and instructed to include provision of information andsupport to interested waste pickers to apply for employment opportunities created as part of the
project. No such opportunities were identified to date. Unfortunately for the construction phase
there were no job opportunities available as Contractors require skilled labor (welders, machine
operators’ concrete workers etc.). However, this request is being regularly discussed during HSE
Weekly meetings (Statement in Annex 9).
4.5

BCE/SVO

Request to maximize the employment for the waste pickers is embedded in the Labour
Management Plans (as part of binding document OESMP) of SVO O&M. O&M Contractor hastaken action interviewing over 70 wastepickers for the job. BCE has taken steps to hire some of
the waste pickers. Several job announcements have been published over the summer 2020 andactions taken to notify/encourage the waste pickers to apply for these positions. 72 candidates
applied, after which the interviews were organized with the most suitable ones. The job wasoffered to 3 candidates, 2 of whom rejected the offer and 1 accepted it.
ACTIVITIES FOR INTRODUCING WASTE-PICKERS WITH JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN SVO(Suez Vinča Operator d.o.o.)•

Steps for reaching waste-pickers- 18.05.2020. – The letter was sent to the representatives of City of Belgrade, in which SVO& BCE asked for their help in reaching Wastepickers and informed them about job
opportunities in SVO. We did not receive any reply.
- During the Month of May - several times we tried to post our job advertisement on theentrance of the landfill, but we were not allowed by the PUC staff, so we posted ads on
our bulletin board on the site. We had several applicants from PUC but no wastepickers
among the applicants for these positions.
- 17.07.2020. – We organized Teams meeting with representatives of SVO, BCE and ARUP
in which we discussed the possibilities for reaching the wastepickers. We agreed following
strategy:➢ ARUP representatives sent us phone numbers of the wastepickers➢ 20.07.2020. - SVO provided application forms for active job positions on the site ( form inattachment). There was an application box at the site (in the security house).
➢ SVO informed waste-pickers about job opportunities by SMS and also informed „Leading
waste-pickers “by phone call
➢ Candidates were able to apply until 10.08.2020.
•

How the organization of interview was conducted- 10.08.2020. – The application box was taken from the site, and the resumes were sent to
the hiring manager.
- 72 candidates applied / most of them for the position Helper

Page 30 of 95

- Hiring manager preselected the candidates according to their education level (theminimum requested education was in accordance with our Rulebook of thesystematization). Many of the applied candidates did not answer to our calls.
- Hiring manager conducted phone interviews with the preselected candidates- HR officer + hiring manager conducted live interview on site with the most suitable
candidates (14 candidates)• How many have been hired in selection process?
- Job offer was sent to 3 candidates that we found suitable for the position Helper- 2 candidates accepted our offer (1 wastepicker & 1 son of the wastepicker). 1 candidate
denied our offer, without any response- Meanwhile, 1 of the candidates (waste-picker) that accepted our offer gave up the
position – because he did not provide us with the documentation for employment (school
diploma, id card etc.), although he was reminded several times.
•

Why were the rest rejected?

- Lack of education (Elementary school is a minimum requested)- Incorrect information written in their application form (for example – some of them wrotethat they finished elementary school, although they did not)- To high salary expectation- Setting hiring of family member as a condition to accept the offer- Not answering to phone calls

5. PROJECT AFFECTED PEOPLE
5.1

Socioeconomic Survey from 2018

The Working Group was set up by the City with the task to draft and monitor the implementationof the Resettlement Plan and Livelihood Restoration Plan for the Vinca site. The working group
included representatives of the Secretariat for Environmental Protection, the Secretariat forSocial Protection, Belgrade Land Development Public Agency, the Secretariat for Education andChild Protection, Secretariat for Health, City Public Defender’s Office, City Center for Social Work,the Secretariat for Property and Legal Affairs, the Secretariat for Inspection Affairs and theMayor’s Cabinet.
Members of the Working Group visited the Vinca landfill site several times and conducted formal
and informal consultations with the wastepickers.
The household survey was conducted several times in the period from 2014 to 2016 in hopes tocapture a more accurate assessment of the number of households and people living in theinformal settlement.
In June 2018, the Secretariat for Social Protection visited the households several times, and thelast time, on June 14, 2018 a consultative meeting with all 17 households was done. NGOs werealso present. The families were informed about the final list of households and their entitlements.
In the period from June 15 to June 25, 2018, the Secretariat for Social Protection and PECS held
meetings with waste pickers and informed them about the planned project and the fact that they
will not be allowed to collect waste as of beginning of Interim service commencement date(planed for 1st of October 2020, delayed until spring 2021.)
From June 19 to June 22, 2018, consultative meetings were held with waste pickers which were
engaged by private companies operating on the Vinca landfill. Report from these consultations
was developed by the members of the Working Group and included in Appendix 1.
On June 22, 2018, the Secretariat for Social Protection held a meeting with the director of the
National Employment Service to inform him of the project and the need for cooperation forincome restoration activities.
In the period from 2014 to 2018, teams made of representatives of the Secretariat for Social
Protection and the Center for Social Work collected data about the population of the informal
settlement and companies and individuals engaged in waste collection and sorting.
The situation on the landfill has changed significantly over the last several years since the surveys
have taken place. Some of the wastepickers have migrated to other locations or found alternative
employment, but the records for all impacted wastepickers identified in 2016 are incomplete.
Therefore, there is currently a survey taking place organized by BCE in cooperation with theSecretariat for Social Welfare and PECS to identify the livelihood status and potential of the
Page 33 of 95

wastepickers. As many wastepickers have moved on from the location, the task of identifying
them to conduct these interviews is time consuming, and the expected deadline for completionof this survey is end of May 2021.
For the purpose of this LRP the data from the original surveys is presented below.
The initial list of 246 wastepickers which was included in the 2018 RAP was cross checked withthe list of wastepickers involved in the 2016 survey and concluded that all members of theresettled families are already included in this list. Therefore, the socioeconomic data provided
below refers to all wastepickers interviewed at the time, regardless of whether they were livingon the landfill or not. Specific data related to resettled families is already provided within the RAP
document.
After each meeting, the present people and companies were surveyed. In total, 89 (Provided in
Annex 2) people working for PECS and the five recorded companies were surveyed. The othertwo companies which reportedly had contracts with PECS had not been active on the landfill
during the surveying period and did not attend any of the held meetings.

According to their place of residence, about 40% of the respondents were from Belgrade (mostly
Palilula and Vozdovac), 57% were from another municipality in Serbia (mostly Kikinda, Novi Becej
and Subotica), while two people were foreign nationals (Montenegro and B&H).
The total number of household members of the surveyed waste pickers was about 300 (average
waste picker’ household had 3.3 members). 15 households had more than 5 members.
The length of period they worked for a company on the landfill is shown in the table below.

All persons who reported over 11 years, had worked only for PECS. Most of the respondents
worked between 2 and 10 years for Sava international, Escorpi and Eco Turtle. Most of the waste
pickers (86%) worked more than 25 days a month. Table 11 shows the amount of income
reported by the waste pickers.
The largest number of respondents (28%) reported income between 31 and 40 thousand dinars(250-340 EUR) as well as those who earn between 41 and 50 thousand dinars (EUR 350-425) amonth. It is noticeable that those who work for PUC GC reported lower incomes.
About 40% of waste pickers are already registered with the National Employment Service, andonly six reported doing other jobs (construction, physical jobs).The educational level attained by
the waste pickers is shown in the table below:

The largest number of waste pickers stated that they had no other skills expect waste picking (60persons).
A total of five women reported being able to do cleaning, agriculture and one reported
hairdressing. There were 24 men in total reported that they could do physical jobs on aconstruction site, some have crafts (plumber, carpenter, driver), some can do agriculture, andone was qualified to work in a printing house.
Seven companies had signed a contract with PECS on the collection and purchase of secondary
raw materials. The contracts were concluded for an indefinite period of time, with the possibilityof unilateral termination of both parties, by a written statement with a 8-day notice period.
Representatives of all companies were invited to the meeting organized by the Secretariat forSocial Protection on June 13, 2018, in the presence of the Secretariat for Environmental
Protection and PECS. The meeting was attended by 5 representatives, one of whom represented
two companies. One company (PET EKO Recycling) had not been active at the landfill for sometime, and the company director is abroad, so no representative of this company attended themeeting.
The companies were informed about the planned project commissioning when they would nolonger be able to operate at the landfill and were asked to provide basic information about theirbusiness.

***Based on the questionnaire analysis, 45 active waste pickers from the 2018 list, were interviewed
by Roma Activist during visits in March and April 2021.
For the analysis of the above data, the data of persons who are active and for whom there arecompleted questionnaires, 2 persons who come occasionally (2-5 times a week) and 1 itinerantbuyer were used.
5 persons for whom Roma Activist received information on the site are active, but could not bereached, i.e., questionnaires were not filled out for them. Those are: Milos and Radoslav Dimic,
Miroslav and Suzana Sajn as well as Miodrag Stankovic. Roma Activist visited the site twice (theVinca landfill body), and the blank questionnaire could have been also filled out at the very
entrance / guardhouse, the mentioned persons were not recorded.
Also, through the persons Roma Activist was in contact with, she tried to reach the above
mentioned missing wastepickers, but with no success. So, this information received, about them
being active, is questionable.
In this regard, 45 persons were surveyed.
Out of 45 surveyed persons, 30 were male and 15 were female. Most respondents were born inthe period from 1983-1987, meaning that they are between 34 and 38 years old, 20% of them.
The respondents are mostly from Belgrade, following by Vojvodina who either travel to Belgradeor rent an apartment in Belgrade, even though their place of residence is officially in another city.
Then, there are 15.56% of respondents who are from Sabac and the surrounding area and who
travel to Belgrade or sleep in a car.
Regarding monthly income, the largest number (10 respondents) did not give an answer oranswered: “sometimes more, sometimes less”.
The same percentage (17.78%) stated that they earn between RSD 20-30,000 per month as well
as RSD 40-50,000. Also, the same number of respondents gave the answer about income throughdaily wage amount of RSD 1,500 - 3,000.
When asked whether you are currently working as a waste picker and where you have worked in
the last three years, all respondents or 100% of respondents answered that they worked in thelast three years at the Vinca and they are currently working as waste pickers at the Vinca.
When asked “Are you working as a waste picker somewhere else”, all 45 answered negatively.
Out of 45 respondents, 30 do not have contract with any company since their contracts were
terminated, while only 15 have contracts, namely: 8 of them with PECS, and 7 with Sava
International. Out of these 15, 8 respondents have had a contract for about 20 years and 7 ofthem less than or about a year.
Page 41 of 95

The largest number of respondents had previously worked for PECS, until their contracts were
terminated, 68.89%.
To the questions 13 and 14: “Would you do this job elsewhere” and “Would you do any othertype of job”, the largest percentage answered YES. Those people who answered NO and I DON'T
KNOW, gave such an answer out of timidity because they are not sure if they could do any otherjob and whether anyone would hire them to work due to age and education.
The respondents with a place of residence in the municipalities of Sabac and Vladimirci would
prefer a job in the territory of their municipality. In this regard, it is necessary to coordinate withthe competent institutions, and the project-affected persons.
Most of the respondents do not have primary education, which means that they are semi-literate
or illiterate. A large number of respondents dropped out of school, so even though they attended
several grades of primary school, they do not have basic knowledge. Some of those people wereborn at the landfill and they spent their whole life and working life there, doing that job. Most ofthem didn't even try to do anything else.
In this regard, there are two recommendations:
Recommendation 1: Provide support, in cooperation with an adult education school, to persons
who did not complete primary school. It would increase their chances on the labor market forother elementary jobs. For persons who completed primary and secondary school - provide
training/retraining for craft jobs based on labor market needs. It is also necessary to provide
support in finding a job.
Recommendation 2: Try to connect companies engaged in recycling and secondary raw materials
with PAPs who currently do not have a contract, and who support their families by it, because
they are currently without income for basic living needs.
5.3

Particularly Vulnerable PAPs

As shown in the survey data before, there is a large percentage of wastepickers with no formal
education, who have not completed elementary school and are therefore considered illiterate.
This makes them ineligible for formal employment in the private sector and therefore ineligible
for protections under the labor law. Their options for employment are informal contracts and/or
public sector contracts. These PAPs need to be encouraged to participate in adult training
programs with NES to complete their primary education, in parallel with assistance for temporary
livelihood assistance for the duration of their continued education.

Page 42 of 95

6. ELIGIBILITY AND ENTITLEMENTS
City of Belgrade (CoB) through PECS will provide support to all eligible waste pickers, including
those who used to live in the informal settlement on site with registered address in Belgrade,
provide access to alternative sources of income.
For all those individuals who do not have a place of residence in Belgrade, assistance in
employment will be provided primarily through the relevant NES branch office in the place of
their registered residence (or registered stay) or the municipality where they have registeredresidence.
Wastepickers recorded as being engaged on the landfill listed in the survey conducted between
19 and 22 June 2018, and any other wastepickers able to prove that they were active on the
Landfill in the period from 2018 cut-off date, until Project Commencement Date (Q3 2019), will
be eligible for measures incorporated under this LRP.
For the purpose of developing the RAP, the Secretariat for Social Protection collected records of
persons who were allowed to enter the Vinca landfill and collect secondary raw materials. The
records were obtained by PECS (which also had contracts with these individuals) and bycompanies that used the services of waste pickers.
All records are shown as Annex no. 1 of this LRP. These individuals were invited to attend
meetings with the Secretariat for Social Protection held from June 19 to June 22, 2018 and hadentitlements as specified under this LRP. In addition to these persons, the survey also recorded
a number of persons who were not on the lists submitted by the companies, but who were also
entitled to assistance according to this LRP.
The total number of persons entitled to assistance at the time the LRP was developed was 246
persons. This number represents all wastepickers who have had access to the landfill for the
purpose of waste picking at the time of the development of the RAP (and the LRP within). This is
not however the number of wastepickers who were actively working on the landfill at the timeor since, as explained previously in the text. All resettled families are included in the total numberof 246.
Due to the semi-formal arrangements between PECS and the waste pickers, and sorting
companies, the existing records of engagement on the landfill have not been helpful withidentifying the full list of waste pickers.
It is suggested therefore that the eligibility under this LRP is extended to include everyone who
can show evidence of being engaged on the landfill within the cutoff date period.

Page 43 of 95

Loss of eligibility
In the last three years there have also been several attempts by the BCE, Secretariat for Social
Welfare and other agencies from the CoB to employ wastepickers in alternative jobs that they
are trained for. These activities are further explained under chapter 4 of this LRP. Through thisprocess, however it has become obvious that some of the wastepickers have no interest in thejob opportunities that BCE, EPC contractors or the City are able to offer them. It is therefore
suggested that the entitlements under this LRP are also restricted to several attempts in order toefficiently utilize the limited resources available.
The waste pickers have shown in the past little interest in formal employment. If the waste picker
continuously fails to show up at scheduled job interviews or does not complete the training
provided, they would automatically loose entitlements under the LRP.
Individuals who find themselves in one of the following situations, more than three times:••••

do not appear at a precisely scheduled job interview that matches their qualifications andexperience; or
do not accept an officially offered job that matches their qualifications and experience;or terminate the contract / employment at his / her own request (which must be
documented), or,lose their jobs in accordance with the Law on Employment and Insurance.

Page 44 of 95

7. TYPE OF ENTITLEMENT FOR WASTE PICKERS
Entitlements for wastepickers under this LRP refer primarily on assistance with employment andincome restoration. The responsibility for implementation of the LRP lies with the CoB as thebeneficiary of the Concession Agreement.
As part of their mandate the National Employment Service assists with livelihood restoration,
including identifying employment and training opportunities for all who register with the Service,
and is therefore best equipped to support the CoB with the implementation of measures fromthe LRP.
7.1

Entitlements/support and assistanceTraining and Access to Employment / Livelihood Generation Programs
The City of Belgrade (PECS) and all available national and local agencies will assist all project
affected persons to restore and improve their sources of income through the following measures:- offer of seasonal jobs;- job offers in city utility companies;- job opportunities through public works programs;- job offer in cooperation with the NES (development and implementation of individual
employment plans, job search training as well as qualification and adult education, offers ofavailable jobs, mediation in employment, encouragement and development ofentrepreneurship, special programs for individuals who are at risk and harder to employ groups);- offer employment and self-employment assistance within the available programs and projectsof non - governmental and other organizations (e.g., IPA 2016 EU Support Program Romainclusion - strengthening local communities for Roma inclusion, funded by the European Union,
and implemented by the Standing Conference of Towns and Municipalities, in cooperation withlocal governments throughout Serbia);- offering courses for adult education and craft training;- offering jobs during the construction phase of the project, at the Vinca landfill, and later during
the operation phase of the new landfills;- offering jobs of collecting and sorting secondary raw materials at other locations where PECS
operates (e.g., at future recycling sites scheduled for opening under the Local Waste
Management Plan).

Page 45 of 95

Additional Support / Individual counseling by LR Coordinator
The LR Coordinator2 will regularly communicate with collectors and provide them withinformation on any available vacancies or support programs. Information will be provided at thegroup level, and more details will be provided individually if any of the collectors of secondary
raw materials show active interest. The LR Coordinator will work individually with all interested
collectors of secondary raw materials, who are entitled to do so, to assist with employment,
training, and other types of assistance, in accordance with the Matrix of Rights. This Coordinator
will then monitor the progress of each secondary raw material collector and adjust his / herindividual assistance plan during implementation, until his / her sources of income are reestablished.
Assistance in obtaining personal documents
To all individuals who do not have personal documents will be provided assistance to obtainthem. Persons older than 16 years, assistance will be provided to obtain ID cards. Parents will be
assisted to obtain birth certificates for children under 16 years of age.
Other types of assistance
PAPs will also be provided with any other forms of assistance identified by the LR Coordinator as
being useful in contributing to improved access to other livelihood sources.

8. IMPLEMENTATION OF LIVELIHOOD RESTORATION PLAN
The following section lists the activities that are / will be undertaken with the aim of
implementing the Livelihood Restoration Plan.
8.1

Appointment of Livelihood Restoration Coordinator

CoB designated the Livelihood Restoration (LR) Coordinator, who will be in charge of
implementing livelihood restoration as per this LRP and who will report to the Lenders via BCE
management. This person will contact the recorded waste pickers on monthly basis and will keep
track if any other waste pickers applied for LRP. The LR Coordinator will also directly cooperatewith service providers, particularly the Center for Social Work of Belgrade/Sabac/Vladimirci,
persons designated by the local National Employment Service to work with waste pickers andany potential employers.

8.2

Identification of Available Services and Programs of Support

The LR Coordinator will identify services and programs of support which could be accessed forassisting the waste pickers. This will include programs and services which are implemented by avariety of stakeholders in the city or country, such as state authorities and agencies, private
sector, non-governmental organizations, etc. As a priority, the LR Coordinator will cooperate withsocial workers from Belgrade, social workers and/or coordinators from Sabac and Vladimirci, andthe National Employment Service, who can provide access to existing programs of support, which
would be suitable for the waste pickers. One of the employment opportunities which is expected
to be available to waste pickers are recycling yards/recycling centers operated by PECS.
8.3

Provision of Support and Assistance

The LR Coordinator will work individually with any entitled and interested waste pickers to accessemployment, training, and other assistance, as per the Entitlement Matrix. The LR Coordinator
will monitor progress of each waste picker and adapt his/her individual assistance plans
throughout the implementation of the LRP, until his/her livelihood has been fully restored. The
number of waste pickers varied so the LR Coordinator will also serves as the main point of contact
for the waste pickers who have not been covered under the LRP but can prove income earning
activity on the landfill in the period of the census and landfill handover (2016 to 2021).
8.4

Potential establishing of a Working GroupIf the process shows that LR Coordinator needs further support, in the implementation of the
LRP, Working Group will be established on a national level which will be able to coordinate
activities between municipalities and within various public utility companies. This Working Groupshall include representatives from the National Employment Agency, Secretarial for Social
Protection, Ministry of Human and Minority Rights and Social Dialogue, Office of the Prime
Minister, CoB Mayor’s Cabinet.

Page 52 of 95

9. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION AND CONSULATIONSStakeholder engagement has been taking place at various levels for the last 5 years, as
documented in the text above, but also in more detail in the Resettlement Action Plan andsubsequent implementation reports. Meetings with relevant national and local authorities,
service providers (National Employment Service of the Ministry of Labour, Social Protection andFamily and social workers) and private companies engaged in secondary raw material collection
and sorting were also organized.
9.1

Тhe Secretariat for Environmental Protection has developed a grievance mechanism for the
Project, to accept all comments and complaints associated with it, including those in relation toaffected sources of livelihoods and their restoration. A sample of a Public Grievance Form isprovided.
