The preservation of biodiversity has been recognized as a task of major importance for the future of humanity. To advance work in this area, an international project entitled South East European Development Network on Plant Genetic Resources (SEEDNet) has been established. Within SEEDNet, the working group on vegetable species in Serbia had been comprised of researchers from the Novi Sad and Smederevska Palanka institutes and the universities in Belgrade, Novi Sad and Pristina (Kosovska Mitrovica). Between 2004 and 2010, as part of the work on the project, the working group identified priorities for future activities on the project, made an inventory of the national collection of vegetable plants, and carried out field studies in which new samples have been collected and inventoried. Lists of collected materials and their passport data have been made. Some of the collected samples have been increased, and certain old varieties and populations have been evaluated and classified. Special emphasis has been placed on raising public awareness of the importance of assembling and preserving the countries collection of vegetable plants as a highly valuable national treasure. One thing that has not changed since the start of the project is the fact the national gene bank is still in the final stages of being established. Also, there is a lot of legislation that has yet to be passed in the country in order for the work in this area to become fully and properly regulated. For these reasons, the samples of vegetable species collected as part of this project as well as those from the national gene bank are still in the possession of researchers and breeders from various institutes and faculties around Serbia who originally collected them.
