O konferenciji

The importance of renewable energy for the entire region is proven by the third Balkan Solar Summit, which began today at the Banski Dvor, once again breaking the attendance record. “Our vision from the start was clear: to bring together business leaders and industry visionaries with the goal of shaping the energy sustainability of the Balkans together. Today, I see that we have succeeded,” said Milena Mijatović, CEO of the Summit, at the opening of the 3rd Balkan Solar Summit. The third Balkan Solar Summit is attended by a large number of participants from 15 countries who have come to Banja Luka to draw conclusions on important topics for the region's energy sector, such as CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), the green transition, as well as exchanging experiences on large energy projects, and the stability and security of the energy system during the transition. “The Republic of Srpska is currently at an advantage compared to the Federation of BiH, primarily when it comes to the regulatory framework, that is, the laws. One of the challenging issues is CBAM, which could burden our economic entities. We are aware of this and are working with the governments of the Republic of Srpska and the Federation of BiH on this matter. There is already an initiative in the European Parliament to delay CBAM until 2027,” stated Staša Košarac, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, while declaring the Balkan Solar Summit officially opened. The most important figures in the energy sector are attending the Balkan Solar Summit with the goal of connecting and potentially reaching joint agreements on possible investments.
