WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM IN THE CITY OF KRALJEVO
(City of Kraljevo and its constituent municipalities)
EU PPF6/EuropeAid/137044/DH/SER/RS

Sector: Environmental protection/Wastewater management

The City of Kraljevo is located in the central part of the Republic of Serbia, in the Raška District, at the confluence of the Ibar and Morava rivers.

The sewerage system of the city of Kraljevo includes Kraljevo with six constituent settlements (Ribnica, Grdica, Čibukovac, Jarčujak, Kovanluk, Kovači) and nine surrounding villages (Mataruška Banja, Žiča, Ratina, Konarevo, Adrani, Dragošinjci, Metikoši, Mataruge, and Progorelica), forming the Kraljevo agglomeration with approximately 90,000 inhabitants (the 2011 census).

The sewerage network exists in all populated areas of the agglomeration, and wastewater flows into the West Morava and Ibar rivers without appropriate treatment. Some settlements are still not connected to the sewerage network. Most of the existing sewerage system is in poor condition, with high infiltration rates.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Improving environmental protection and creating conditions for environmentally friendly and sustainable development;
Improving the water quality in the West Morava and Ibar rivers and protecting them against the harmful effects of uncontrolled and direct discharge of wastewater;
Reducing pollution and better quality of surface and ground waters, as well as river sediment;
Improving the quality of the environment through indirect effects, improved sanitation protection, and reduced public health risks for the citizens of the settlements downstream from the confluence of the Ibar and West Morava rivers;
