For 10 awesome days we toured the Balkan Peninsula, visiting Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia & Herzegovina. What an incredible trip. From walking the medieval walls in Dubrovnik to viewing the spectacular landscapes of Montenegro to getting a history lesson in Sarajevo, this is one of our favorite trips of all time.
Contracting Parties in the Western Balkans will face familiar risks that threaten the security of their electricity supply. Stability will depend on factors such as electricity consumption, especially during cold spells, hydrological conditions and the availability of existing thermal capacities to ensure high availability and reduce risk.
Balkan Peninsula Region is dependent on energy import, especially the oil and natural gas imports, with the high dependence and use of coal, primily lignite, in power generation. Besides the high carbon density due to the heavy dependence on coal, the excessive use of wood for fuel is a significant environmental concern, as it is the cause of air pollution,

By focusing on renewable energy and energy eficiency, the Western Balkan Six will enhance their energy security and sustainability while taking significant steps towards a greener and more equitable future. Currently, the Secretariat is evaluating the draft integrated national energy and climate plans submitted during the summer months.
In the region tracked by Balkan Green Energy News, there are ten potential nickel mining sites: three in both Albania and Turkey, and one each in Serbia, North Macedonia, Kosovo* and Greece. Mining and processing of lithium, copper and nickel can be devastating for the population’s health, agriculture, water sources and biodiversity.
The focus should remain on systemic and regional responses such as the full integration of the Western Balkans’ electricity markets with the European one, which in turn will facilitate the deployment of more renewable energy. In addition, energy efficiency has emerged as a top priority for the Western Balkan Six.
But Vulcan Energy is actually developing the technology to extract lithium from geothermal water, without mining. The list seems to be incomplete, as there is a lithium mining project in the Czech Republic, for instance, and geothermal extraction efforts in Italy and the United Kingdom.
There was a risk that the Western Balkan Six could lose touch and be left behind. By signing the Declaration on Energy Security and Green Transition in the Western Balkans, the leaders of the Western Balkans Six lived up to the manifold challenges.
