Abstract. The economic development has been acquiring a new quality, simultaneously with the protection of the environment, i.e. preservation of the non-decreasing natural capital. Production systems of the Balkan countries should function in a permanent strive to preserve the ecological stability as the basis of development, in order to secure not only economic, but ecological efficiency and stability as well. Alongside with transport and power supply, the agriculture exerts great influence upon the status of environment.
The Balkan countries would have to coordinate their environmental protection standards in order to reduce its degradation, considering respective characteristics of particular countries, like Yugoslavia, for instance. In this respect, we should react on time, which means immediately. The need of joint reaction in accidental situations will be more frequent in the course of time.

UKLJUČIVANJE JUGOSLAVIJE U OSTVARIVANJE POLITIKE STABILNOSTI OKRUZENJA NA BALKANU
Ekonomski razvoj dobija novi kvalitet uz istovremenu zaštitu okruzenja, odnosno očvanja neopadajućeg prirodnog kapitala. Proizvodni sistemi u balkanskim zemljama treba da funkcionišu uz permanentnu težnju da očuvaju ekološku stabilnost kao osnovu razvoja, radi obezbedjenja ne samo ekonomske već i ekološke efikasnosti i stabilnosti. Poljoprivreda, pored saobraćaja i energetike, ima veliki uticaj na stanje okruženja.
Balkanske zemlje treba da usklade standarde zaštite okruženja radi reduciranja njegove degradacije, uvažavajući specifičnosti pojedinih zemalja, na primer Jugoslavije. U tom smislu treba reagovati na vreme, što znači odmah. Potreba zajedničkog reagovanja u akcidentalnim situacijama biće sve češća.
