ABOUT THE SERBIAN ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROBLEMS

Abstract

This paper analyzes energy efficiency in Serbia. The analysis has been done on he basis of energy intensity indicators for Serbia and neighboring countries, and ome other countries and regions. It relates to the period of some ten years and it s directed to the consideration of required interventions regarding the change of he National Energy Efficiency Policy. Regardless of constant attempts to mprove and increase energy efficiency and to expand utilization of renewable nergy sources, it seems that accomplished results are still very modest. The nalysis of several energy indicators and their changes in the midterm period onfirms this statement.
