Đedović Handanović expressed gratitude to Germany for its consistent support for Serbia in the modernisation of the energy sector.
Serbia and Germany have a constructive and intensive dialogue that is yielding concrete results, she pointed out and announced that in the coming period, deepening cooperation through new projects is planned.

We are pleased that Serbia is committed to the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. We are ready to support your plans in the decarbonisation process and we want to further improve cooperation, as well as jointly identify new projects, the Ambassador said.
