SMART BORDERS

Granični prelazi predstavljaju važan deo svakodnevnog života ljudi koji putuju između Republike Srbije i Republike Rumunije. Istovremeno, oni su i važna radna mesta za pripadnike Uprave granične policije, Uprave carina, inspekcijskih službi Ministarstva poljoprivrede, šumarstva i vodoprivrede, kao i za druge zaposlene koji svakodnevno obavljaju poslove na graničnim prelazima i pružaju usluge građanima. Kako bi odgovorili savremenim potrebama, pojedini elementi granične infrastrukture treba da budu energetski efikasniji, održiviji i funkcionalniji. Smanjenje potrošnje energije može doprineti smanjenju troškova rada, poboljšanju uslova za rad zaposlenih i zaštiti životne sredine.

Projekat SMART BORDERS – Zeleniji i pametniji granični prelazi Srbije i Rumunije okuplja institucije iz Srbije i Rumunije sa ciljem zajedničkog odgovora na ovaj izazov. Republička direkcija za imovinu Republike Srbije, Teritorijalni inspektorat granične policije Temišvar i Politehnički univerzitet u Temišvaru, u okviru ovog projekta zajednički rade na modernizaciji granične infrastrukture i uvođenju energetski efikasnijih i održivijih rešenja.

Projekat obuhvata devet graničnih prelaza. U Srbiji će Republička direkcija za imovinu Republike Srbije realizovati aktivnosti na modernizaciji graničnih prelaza Nakovo, Jaša Tomić, Kaluđerovo, Vatin, Đerdap, Vrbica i Srpska Crnja. U Rumuniji su projektom obuhvaćeni granični prelazi Jimbolia i Moravița. Politehnički univerzitet u Temišvaru pružiće podršku partnerstvu kroz tehničke procene, merenja i istraživanja koja će biti sprovedena korišćenjem mobilne laboratorije. Stečena znanja i rezultati doprineće izradi zajedničkog Vodiča za rešenja energetske efikasnosti, namenjenog budućim ulaganjima u javnu infrastrukturu.

Očekuje se da će unapređenja doneti praktične koristi na obe strane granice. Energetski efikasnija infrastruktura doprineće smanjenju potrošnje energije, troškova rada i emisija gasova sa efektom staklene bašte, uz istovremeno poboljšanje uslova za rad pripadnika Uprave granične policije, Uprave carina, inspekcijskih službi Ministarstva poljoprivrede, šumarstva i vodoprivrede, kao i drugih zaposlenih koji obavljaju poslove na graničnim prelazima. Putnici će takođe imati koristi od unapređene infrastrukture i boljih uslova na graničnim prelazima. Projekat stoga nije usmeren samo na modernizaciju objekata i opreme, već i na stvaranje efikasnije, održivije i savremenim potrebama bolje prilagođene javne infrastrukture.

SMART BORDERS predstavlja primer saradnje Republike Srbije i Republike Rumunije u rešavanju zajedničkog izazova i stvaranju koristi koje prevazilaze pojedinačne granične prelaze. Projekat se realizuje u okviru Interreg IPA Programa prekogranične saradnje Rumunija–Srbija i sufinansira sredstvima Evropske unije. Ukupna vrednost projekta iznosi 3.913.752,52 evra, od čega doprinos Evropske unije iznosi 3.326.689,63 evra (85%). Partnerstvo objedinjuje javna ulaganja, prekograničnu saradnju i tehničku ekspertizu sa ciljem stvaranja zelenije i pametnije granične infrastrukture za budućnost.

Projekat „SMART BORDERS – Zeleniji i pametniji granični prelazi Srbije i Rumunije“ sufinansira Evropska unija (European Union) kroz Interreg IPA Program prekogranične saradnje Rumunija–Srbija (Interreg IPA Romania–Serbia Programme). JEMS kod: RORS00340.

Border crossings are an important part of everyday life for people travelling between the Republic of Serbia and Romania. At the same time, they are important workplaces for members of the Border Police Directorate, the Customs Administration, inspection services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy, as well as other employees who perform their duties at border crossing points and provide services to citizens on a daily basis. In order to respond to modern needs, certain elements of border infrastructure need to become more energy-efficient, sustainable and functional. Reducing energy consumption can contribute to lower operating costs, improved working conditions for employees and better protection of the environment.

The SMART BORDERS – Greener and Smarter Border Crossings of Serbia and Romania project brings together institutions from Serbia and Romania with the aim of jointly addressing this challenge. The Republic Directorate for Property of the Republic of Serbia, the Territorial Inspectorate for Border Police Timișoara and the Politehnica University of Timișoara are working together within the project to modernise border infrastructure and introduce more energy-efficient and sustainable solutions.

The project covers nine border crossing points. In Serbia, the Republic Directorate for Property of the Republic of Serbia will implement modernisation activities at the border crossing points of Nakovo, Jaša Tomić, Kaluđerovo, Vatin, Đerdap, Vrbica and Srpska Crnja. In Romania, the project covers the border crossing points of Jimbolia and Moravița. The Politehnica University of Timișoara will support the partnership through technical assessments, measurements and research carried out using a mobile laboratory. The knowledge gained and the results achieved will contribute to the development of a joint Energy Efficiency Solutions Guide, intended to support future investments in public infrastructure.

The improvements are expected to bring practical benefits on both sides of the border. More energy-efficient infrastructure will contribute to reducing energy consumption, operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions, while also improving working conditions for members of the Border Police Directorate, the Customs Administration, inspection services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy, as well as other employees working at border crossing points. Travellers will also benefit from improved infrastructure and better conditions at border crossing points. The project is therefore not focused solely on modernising buildings and equipment, but also on creating public infrastructure that is more efficient, sustainable and better adapted to modern needs.

SMART BORDERS represents an example of cooperation between the Republic of Serbia and Romania in addressing a common challenge and creating benefits that extend beyond individual border crossing points. The project is implemented within the Interreg IPA Romania–Serbia Cross-Border Cooperation Programme and co-financed by the European Union. The total project value amounts to EUR 3,913,752.52, of which the European Union contribution amounts to EUR 3,326,689.63 (85%). The partnership brings together public investment, cross-border cooperation and technical expertise with the aim of creating greener and smarter border infrastructure for the future.
