The analysis was based on the Environmental Performance Index (abbreviated EPI) reports and covered the period 2020-2024. According to the 2024 EPI, Serbia is ranked at the 64th place in the world, in terms of national environmental sustainability, while Poland is in a better position, at the 19th place. When it comes to the agriculture, according to the 2024 EPI, Serbia is at the 26th place, with the best result in sustainable nitrogen management, and the worst result in pesticide pollution risk.
