The EU is basically helping all households – especially the most vulnerable ones – to meet their basic energy needs, schools and hospitals to remain up and running, and small businesses to ensure the production of basic foods.

This assistance is part of a 1 billion EUR-package that the EU has prepared for the Western Balkans, as investments in clean energy. Not counting more than 250 million EUR for reform of the energy sector in the country that the EU provided with the support of the international financial institutions and EU Member States.

“Energy connects us. It connects us in these times of scarcity that we are witnessing all over Europe and globally, as a result of Russia`s inhumane war. It connects us in sharing the burden. And it connects us to the future through our efforts to turn to clean sources with minimum costs for the environment”, said EU Ambassador David Geer.
