Foreword

The environmental legislation in the building industry, and how to meet these in daily practice, is the main topic of this WASCON conference. In every country the same problem exist; exchange of knowledge and of technology is the answer.

After having five conferences in Western Europe, we now visit Serbia and Montenegro. We stimulate and coordinate the meeting with WASCON delegates and West Balkan experts and students. All conference activities were held in Belgrade. The combination of good things of Serbia and Montenegro and the quality of the program provided the ingredients for a memorable and enjoyable event. The conference will stimulate exchange of knowledge between participants and it will build bridges between experts for the future. The organising parties invited you to come, to stay and meet us in the SAVA CENTER. Together with the Belgrade-Intercontinental Hotel, the SAVA CENTER creates a single architectural complex.

Belgrade is the capital of Serbia, having around 1.6 million residents. It is situated where the Sava River joints the Danube. Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe and, beside Athens, the largest city in the Balkan Peninsula. During its long history, 40 armies conquered Belgrade. 38 times it has been re-built from the ashes. Reuse is the subject; therefore, Belgrade is the right place to talk about this.
