GDP $43.866 billion (2014, Nominal.) $95.492 billion (2014, purchasing power parity), Structure of GDP •agriculture: 8.2% •industry: 36.9% •services: 54.9% (2014 est.) Main industries: Motor vehicle, base metals, furniture, food processing, machinery, chemical, sugar, tires, pharmaceuticals, … Climate of Serbia can be described as moderate-continental with more or less pronounced local characteristics. In the north, continental climate (cold winters and hot, humid summers with welldistributed rainfall); in other parts, continental and Mediterranean climate (relatively cold winters with heavy snowfall and hot, dry summers and autumns) Main hazards related with weather and climate are: drought, floods, hail, extreme temperatures, forest fires, Republic Hydrometeorological Service of Serbia RHMS of Serbia is special organization of the Serbian government. Responsibility: meteorology, hydrology, climatology, climate change and early warning on the hydrometeorological hazards. RHMS of Serbia is the primary national authority and official source of information about weather, water, climate, climate change and warning, RHMS of Serbia is the official voice in issuing HydMet warnings. First meteorological observing was started January 1st 1848 in Belgrade. After 2 years there were 20 meteorological stations In Serbia. This met station network was established by Prof. Vladimir Jaksic. Brief history Meteorological Observatory was established by the Decree of the Ministry of Education in Belgrade in 1887 and Prof. Milan Nedeljkovic was appointed as its first Administrator. At the request of Prof. Nedeljkovic, on 15th September 1888, Minister of Education and Religion, Dr Vladan Djordjevic, signed the Decree on the establishment of government meteorological station network in the Kingdom of Serbia. The Observatory became the center of the meteorological station network, the core of meteorological research in the field of microclimatology, weather forecast, hydrology and geophysical measuring in general. Coding of meteorological data started in 1895 and in August 1902, issuing of weather forecast and international data exchange.

The sector where need improve is meteorological and hydrological observation system, nowcasting system, education, research activities… The main source for operational activities, research and equipments is Budget of RS What I expect from the Workshop ? To learn about estimation socio and economic benefit of NHMS To learn about presentation result of SEB study to decision makers about socio and economic values from improvement of RHMSS.
