Belgrade, 26 April 2022

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Mining and Energy Zorana Mihajlovic said during a video conference with representatives of the State Department, the US Department of Energy, the US Department of Commerce, USAID and the US Embassy in Serbia, that cooperation in the process of energy transition is necessary, especially in times of energy crisis, and that it is necessary to continue the green agenda.

Mihajlovic assessed that Serbia and the United States are friendly countries, adding that energy opens space for the improvement of comprehensive relations, as well as for the implementation of joint projects, primarily in the field of decarbonisation and the fight against climate change.

During the meeting, they talked about building energy infrastructure, diversifying energy sources, exchanging experiences and technologies, transitioning to clean energy and improving energy efficiency.

Our new investment plan implies the construction of new capacities, apart from RHE Djerdap 3 and Bistrica, we also want new solar and wind power plants. We want to discuss all energy sources, including nuclear energy, said the Deputy Prime Minister.

US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Energy Aleshia Duncan said that we continue to work together to create a framework for the development of green, sustainable energy at the global level and cooperate on infrastructure development and education, exchange of experiences, especially in the segment of scientific research and development of new technologies.

US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce David De Falco stressed that climate and energy issues are key around the world, and that it is a great opportunity to enhance trade co-operation with Serbia, which is recognized as a leader in the region.
