Serbia and Hungary aim to build a long-term relationship, in order to cooperate on economical, social, and cultural levels. Infrastructure development is one of the key elements herein, as efficient mobilisation of people and goods are crucial factors for ensuring durable competitiveness. Although the development of public transport system has priority on all programme levels, the construction and reconstruction of public roads have a particular importance in enhancing the prosperity of the region. As protection of the environment is a basic concern in all kinds of construction projects, the preparation phase should expressly focus on the assessment of environmental impact. In this respect, expanding the focus of the European Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC from measurements conducted in rural areas to mapping the effects of environmental noise and air pollution has key importance. Hungary has valuable experience in addressing the problems related to noise and air pollution. The purpose of this project is to assess the levels of noise and air pollution on roads leading to border-crossing points and in related areas, with functional and out of operation roads as a focus of the project both on the Serbian and Hungarian side. In the framework of the project, a complex traffic condition assessment will be conducted, measurements of noise and air pollution will be made in areas defined by the traffic survey, an action plan will be set up to deal with development needs and potentials of border-crossing points and lead-up roads. The resultant database will serve as input data for environmental impact assessments related to the preparation of future developments, thus creating valuable information for authorities and companies implementing road reconstructions. The project will benefit the whole population of the respective area, by leading to the decrease in pollution levels and thus fostering tourism and competitiveness. Achievements: People and organisations from Hungary and Serbia intended to build long-term relationships to facilitate cooperation in the fields of economy, society and culture. Infrastructure development is one of the key elements of this cooperation as efficient transport of people and goods is a crucial factor in ensuring competitiveness.

Hungary has valuable experience in addressing the problems related to noise and air pollution. The purpose of this project was to assess the levels of noise and air pollution on the roads leading to the border-crossing points and in related areas, focusing both on functioning and out-of-operation roads on both sides of the border. Within the framework of the project, a complex traffic condition assessment was conducted, measurements of noise and air pollution were made in areas defined by the traffic surwey and an action plan was made to deal with the development needs and potentials of border-crossing points and access roads. The resulting database serves as input data for environmental impact assessments related to the preparation of future developments, thus providing valuable information to authorities and companies carrying out road reconstructions. The project is beneficial for the whole population of the border area as it leads to a better understanding of the air and noise pollution level.
