Waste-to-energy processes have been attempted at various
Serbian cities numerous times,but have generally met with
failure. An umber of failures over the decades have in stilled a
negative opinion of the process in the general public as well as
investors.The main causes of this lack of success are the absence
of a strong policy frame work for waste-to-energy process and little
ton one financial and logistical planning.However,there has been
a positive change in the mindsets of thegeneral public due to
increasing development and education.In addition,an increase in
fuel and energy prices has made such waste-to-energy projects
much more appealing and viable.Thus,there have been many
