Priorities under the Serbian Presidency

At the 18th Ministerial Council, Serbia took over the Energy Community presidency from Montenegro  and expressed its willingness 'to give a new impetus to the development, or rather change, of the energy sector in the region'. During its presidency (01.01.2021 - 31.12.2021), Serbia will advocate decarbonisation together with other following objectives:

• decarbonisation of the energy sector towards complete neutrality in 2050, including relevant aspects of energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources: 
  • development of the Contracting Parties' Climate and Energy Plans and the definition of their 2030 targets;
  • the transposition of the Emission Trading Scheme;
  • the introduction of a carbon tax system.
• the establishment of a common market in the fields of electricity and natural gas; 
• the establishment of mandatory stocks of crude oil and petroleum products;
•  the development of energy infrastructure.
