Belgrade,
29 July 2026
Đedović Handanović said that EDF, which completed the preparation of the Preliminary Technical Study in this area last year, is the leading operator of nuclear power plants globally, with more than 50 nuclear reactors in France alone.
According to her, the most important part of this project relates to the preparation of a human resources development strategy, as one of the key prerequisites for launching a national nuclear programme.
The Minister said that cooperation with EDF is planned to develop three more studies within the first phase of the nuclear programme, while the remaining 14 will be the subject of further consideration with various international companies that have the necessary experience.
The French Development Agency has provided a grant in the amount of €500,000, and these funds will provide support in building professional and organizational capacities in Serbia necessary for the preparation, development and management of Phase I and part of Phase II of the nuclear programme.
