One of the basic human rights is the right to live and develop in a healthy environment. Sustainable management of natural values, preservation of natural balance, diversity and improvement of the quality of the environment are imperatives of modern society. The natural values of Serbia are its natural resources, and forests occupy a central place among them. The ecosystemic relationship between these natural values is multifaceted. Planning has been in use in Serbian forestry for the last two centuries. The society’s need for productive functions provided by forest ecosystems was often not in accordance with their actual potentials. In those circumstances planning was exposed to constant changes, following the scientific achievements of modern forestry on the one hand, and legal compliance of various plans on the other. This paper presents an up-to-date approach to environmental issues in planning, through the prism of protected natural areas (PNAs), taking into consideration the modern achievements of science and (national and international) practices in forestry, international conventions signed by the Republic of Serbia, applicable local provisions, national strategies etc. This paper has identified the conflict between commercial interests and the priorities of forest management, defined for specific areas and protection regimes. Also, this paper defines optimal forest management objectives and measures for their implementation for developing strategic and operational planning documents in forestry in the conditions of specific protection regimes, with the aim of preserving and improving the environmental quality. This concept is characterized by the harmonization of several factors, including achievable functional permanence, ecological balance, biological heritage, the diversity of biodiversity and sustainable forest management.
