The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, was established in 1944 and is headquartered in Montréal, Canada. ICAO plays a central role in the development and coordinated implementation of Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), which serve as the global framework for the safe, orderly, and efficient conduct of international civil aviation.
With 193 Member States, ICAO conducts its work through specialized panels, working groups, and committees that address a broad range of civil aviation domains, including safety, aviation security, air navigation capacity and efficiency, environmental protection, and economic development of air transport.
ICAO also provides capacity-building support to its Member States through training programmes and technical assistance aimed at strengthening national aviation systems and infrastructure.
The Republic of Serbia has been an ICAO Member State since 2006, as the legal successor to the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, and continues to actively participate in the work of the Organization.
The European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) is an intergovernmental organization established in 1955 to promote the development of a safe, efficient, and sustainable European air transport system. ECAC currently comprises 44 Member States and provides a forum for Directors General of Civil Aviation to exchange views and coordinate on matters of common interest.
ECAC addresses a wide array of aviation-related topics, including aviation safety and security, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), facilitation, environmental sustainability, and economic and legal issues.
ECAC is one of the key European organizations promoting a safe, efficient, and sustainable air transport system. Established in 1955, it brings together 44 member states and provides a pan-European forum for civil aviation directors general to address shared concerns in areas such as safety, drones, security, facilitation, environment, and legal/economic matters.
