Better regional energy systems links

At a ministerial conference on energy in the region and Europe, held on the occasion of closing the Kozloduy nuclear power plant, Naumov stressed that stronger links between energy systems are a precondition for improving the safety of energy supply at national and international levels, as well as for developing the regional energy market.

He emphasised that Serbia has defined projects to help stimulate linking up the electric energy system and gas and natural gas systems with those in neighbouring countries.

Serbia is actively working on linking up the electric energy system through cooperative projects with Hungary (the construction of a 400kV power transmission line between Sombor and Paks), Romania (a 400kV power transmission between Vrsac and Timisoara) and Macedonia (a 400kV power transmission between Nis and Skopje), said Naumov.

The Minister added that Serbia is also working on linking its gas pipelines with Bulgaria (the main pipeline Dimitrovgrad–Dupnica), Romania (Mokrin–Arad), Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as on developing the project to construct the Pan-European gas pipeline (Constanta–Pancevo–Trieste).

According to Naumov, establishing suitable financial mechanisms for supporting such projects is a key issue, having in mind that a huge amount of capital is needed in order to finalize linking these energy systems.

The meeting in Sofia concludes tomorrow and energy ministers from Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Turkey, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovak Republic and the UNMIK representative will be presented with the text of the Declaration in which the European Commission will be asked to reconsider the decision to close down the Kozloduy nuclear power plant, that is to extend the deadline for shutting it down until new production facilities are made to compensate for the loss of the plant.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
