Bosnia and Herzegovina signed the Energy Community Treaty in October 2005 and overtook thereby the obligation to implement the core EU energy legislation within preset deadlines. In October 2011, the Energy Community Ministerial Council decided to adopt the EU’s third internal energy package. This year the adoption of new EU legislation on renewable energy, statistics and oil stocks are under discussion. When implemented in full, this legal framework paves the way for a stable regulatory and market framework and ensures thereby access to sustainable, secure and competitive energy. It is these challenges and, the planned line of action by Bosnia and Herzegovina, that will be tabled for discussions in Jahorina.
Chairman Bevanda, ministers and Director Neykov will address the press and deliver press statements on the same day at 13:15 hours.
