RERI published its 2025 air-quality analysis: all 97 Serbian stations with sufficiently reliable data recorded exceedances of the European standard, and PM2.5 exceedances averaged 104 days. The organization notes that the government's own program links air pollution to nearly 10,000 premature deaths per year and criticizes delays in measures on imported vehicles, industrial emissions, and permits for polluters.
