Harmonization of river engineering objective and environmental aspects of river management is considered in the case study of Juzna Morava river, Serbia (Serbia and Montenegro). Investigation of morphological, hydraulic and sedimentological characteristics of the river, flora and vegetation were carried out in this study. During the field investigation, the assessement of riparian vegetation was made and large number of species were determined. More than 100 species are classified into 7 communities. Regarding the existing problems of the bank erosion, excavation in the floodplain and bad ecological conditions of the riparian zone, the new environmentally fiendly approach is proposed. The technical measures consist of a special excavation in the floodplain, on the inside bank of the river bends, with significant effect on the erosion intensity on the outside bank. Two ecological alternatives of management of floodplain are considered - the plantation of poplar in the deepened zone of the floodplain and the wetland formation in this zone.
