The development of a national ground motion monitoring system has become an essential tool of remote sensing for addressing geological hazards, urban planning, and infrastructure management. Over the past few years, several countries have successfully implemented such services, highlighting their importance in mitigating risks and supporting sustainable development. Inspired by these global trends and the advancements in satellite technology, this research proposes the creation of a Serbian Ground Motion Service (GMS-Serbia). Leveraging the Sentinel-1 mission, operational since 2014, and its advanced Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) capabilities, GMS-Serbia would provide high-resolution ground motion data to monitor subsidence, landslides, and other deformation phenomena across Serbia. GMS-Serbia will rely on advanced Differential InSAR techniques (ADinSAR), such as Persistent Scatterer and Small Baseline InSAR. The recent launch of Sentinel-1C has further enhanced data availability, offering improved coverage and revisit frequency, making this an ideal time to establish a dedicated national service. This research emphasizes the necessity of GMS-Serbia, particularly as Serbia is not covered in the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), a regional initiative covering much of Europe. By filling this gap, GMS-Serbia would not only address national needs but also contribute to regional and global efforts in ground motion monitoring. The proposed service would provide actionable insights for disaster risk reduction, urban planning, and infrastructure development, while also fostering collaboration with existing international initiatives. This work outlines the conceptual framework, methodological approach, and future directions for GMS-Serbia, highlighting its potential to enhance Serbia's resilience to geological hazards and support sustainable development in the context of a rapidly changing environment.
