On the PEFC Council annual meeting organized in November this year, a certificate for endorsement of the Balkan Forest Certification System was issued to the Council for Sustainable Forest Management in the Republic of Macedonia.
The Balkan Forest Certification System was developed by the three PEFC National Government Bodies: from Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia. This will provide opportunity for other countries from the Balkan region to accept the principles and join the system and with that contribute to global efforts for sustainable management of forest resources worldwide.
