The year we are slowly bidding farewell to has brought us many reasons for pride. The pages of Energy Portal Magazine have been filled with a series of inspiring stories and conversations with interlocutors whose knowledge and vision are driving the energy transition in our region.
In front of you is the final issue of 2025, with which we close another chapter and gradually step into 2026, confident that it will bring new green energy and even stronger momentum toward a sustainable future.
In this issue, we spoke with H.E. Maria Clara de Abreu Rada, Ambassador of Brazil to Serbia, who reveals how this major country is building its path toward climate neutrality and the role international partnerships play in that process.
Our interlocutor was also Ljubomir Kolarek, Mayor of Prelog, who took us to this small yet highly ambitious town that leads the way in greening initiatives, modern waste management, and the transition to renewable energy sources in Croatia.
We also present a guide intended for local self-government units, designed as a practical tool for cities and municipalities that wish to support the development of citizen energy and actively involve residents in the energy transition.
Additionally, we hosted Slobodan Minić from the Fiscal Council, who explained how the implementation of CBAM will affect the Serbian economy and which measures can help mitigate its impact.
In the Eco-Innovations and People and Challenges sections, you can expect many interesting features – a story about a solar container from the Republic of Srpska, concepts of solar power plants on historical buildings that do not compromise their aesthetic and cultural identity, and much more.
Thank you for being part of our story this year as well. We believe that in the future, together with you, we will continue to follow and encourage innovations that contribute to the development of the energy sector and society as a whole.
