Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic and Prime Minister of Vojvodina Bojan Pajtic put into operation a biogas plant on the farm “Sava Kovacevic” in Vrbas.
Dacic pointed out that the biogas plant can annually produce between 8.5 and 9.5 million kilowatts of electricity and heat.
The Prime Minister said that energy is a development opportunity for Serbia and announced €10 million investment in this area over the next 10 years.
He said that in the last two decades Serbia has not built any new energy facility, and added that the facility which opened is a road map for many small and medium enterprises in the country.
Dacic announced a meeting of the state leadership in the Cabinet of the President of the Republic of Serbia, Tomislav Nikolic, for next week where arrangements for negotiations with the provisional institutions of government in Pristina will be discussed.
Dacic said that this is not the first such meeting and that the next week’s meeting will be continuation of talks on the platforms in dialogue that follows.
Pajtic said that Serbia until 2020 plans to have renewable energy sources in the amount of 27% of the country’s total energy sources.
He said that in Vojvodina the level of exploitation of renewable energy sources is currently only 2%.
The provincial government will use the funds for capital investment to reach the set level of utilisation of renewable energy sources by 2020, which is about average in Europe, said Pajtic.
