There will be no restrictions on electricity, heating

Belgrade, 16 December 2021

Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said last night that there will be no restrictions on electricity and heating and that citizens and the economy can be calm, adding that the situation with electricity is much better than the previous day.

In a statement for Television Vesti, Brnabic said that the persons responsible for the omissions will be sanctioned, and that the damaged citizens would receive a reduction in their bills.

Speaking about the opening of a new cluster in the negotiations with the European Union, the Prime Minister assessed that it was a great recognition for Serbia for our reforms and everything we have done in previous years.

All the countries of the Western Balkans – Montenegro, Northern Macedonia, Albania did not receive any new open or closed chapters, while we received only praise, the Prime Minister emphasised.

As she stated, in the past few years, we have dealt with environmental protection in such a way that we have managed to establish standards sufficient to open the chapter.

She congratulated all the citizens of Serbia on the opening of four chapters from Cluster 4, adding that we now have 22 chapters out of 35 open and that a new cluster is expected to open next year.

The Prime Minister also told the citizens of Serbia that the referendum, which is scheduled for 16 January next year, is exclusively on the issue of justice.

The bottom line is that we have been working to reduce the impact of politics on the selection of judges. If you vote NO in the referendum, it means that there will be no continuation of European integration in the next four years, the Prime Minister stated.

According to her, the referendum is a key issue in the field of the rule of law, and if it fails, it will not be possible to call a referendum on the same issue by 2026, in accordance with the Law on Referendum and People's Initiative.

This referendum is a question of whether we want a more responsible and efficient judiciary, more independent of politics, Brnabic explained, adding that her recommendation, as citizens and Prime Ministers, is that everyone should go to the referendum and vote YES.
