This paper gives a comparative analysis of the criteria for surface water quality classification in accordance with the current law regulations in Serbia, by applying the Serbian Water Quality Index (SWQI) method and Directive 75/440/EEC. The incompatibility of quality classification parameters for surface waters intended for water supply purposes is shown in the example of the assessment of water quality in the Barje accumulation, made on the basis of a data set provided by the Hydro-meteorological service of the Republic of Serbia for the years 2005-2009. Serbia’s preparations for the EU integration processes include familiarization with European directives in the water sector, and the harmonization of the national legislation in this sector. The integral management of water resources sets new goals and standards for the solution of the problems in water supply, taking into consideration the real possibilities, basic principles, and requirements defined in the Water Framework Directive of the European Union.
