S02E08: The European Green Deal and Serbia's EU accession process
EU CastIn the 8th episode of the second series of the svEUkratko podcast, we discuss the topic of the European Green Deal and its significance for Serbia's EU accession process. The European Green Deal represents the EU's key strategy for achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and sustainable economic development. This policy also strongly influences candidate countries for membership, including Serbia, through the obligation to adapt legislation and the energy system. Serbia has already adopted its first strategic regulations, initiated the closure of outdated thermal power plants, and is developing plans to transition to renewable sources. However, the transformation process faces numerous challenges – from economic costs to resistance from local communities and industry. In this episode, we analyze how European climate goals are being transferred to Serbia and what this means for everyday life, the economy, and the EU accession process.
