Mitar Simonovic participated in the discussion organized by CEE Legal Matters on the status of the energy market in Serbia, with a particular focus on renewables.
Discussing hot topics in the field, from the perspective of current events that were impactful for the broader market of “green investing”, Mitar initially spoke of the ratio of green vs. carbon-based energy sources in Serbia, delving into the required standards of “clean energy” that the framework planning document attempts to clarify. Mitar spoke later on the current market players and major projects, turning to the opportunities arising from the hold-back in investments that is presently happening. He outlined current “streams” of green financing and ongoing and successful projects, speaking of the market participants that seem to be the go-to-financiers of projects that are of great impact for the industry. Finally he delved further into the current status of the market, pointing to the regulatory frameworks’ “bifurcations” and its current consequences, marking changes are expected to be taken for everyone’s benefit.
