Number 48 – June 2026
Summer traditionally brings us more light, energy, and optimism, and it is precisely this spirit that we have sought to convey in the new issue of our magazine. At a time when sustainability, energy security, and environmental protection are among the most important global topics, it is encouraging that concrete progress and successful projects contributing to a greener future are increasingly emerging in our region.
In this issue, we bring you interviews with interlocutors who shed light on the processes of the energy transition from different perspectives. The Ambassador of Germany to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Alfred Grannas, speaks about the priorities of German cooperation with BiH, the importance of knowledge and technology transfer, and the opportunities opening up on the path towards sustainable energy development.
With Danijela Isailović, Director of the RES Serbia Association, we discussed how close Serbia is today to achieving its energy and climate goals, the challenges slowing down the development of renewable energy sources, and the role that battery storage systems will play in the future energy system.
The commissioning of the DeLasol North solar power plant in Lapovo, from which the first green kilowatts were delivered this spring, also confirms that Serbia is moving in the right direction toward achieving the goals of the green transition. At the same time, Serbia continues to improve its regulatory framework through new regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing waste more efficiently.
From Republika Srpska, we bring an overview of the development of the renewable energy sector through a conversation with Zoran Janković, President of the Association of Renewable Energy Electricity Producers. He discusses investment trends, regulatory challenges, and prospects for the sector’s further development.
Although energy and innovation are the dominant topics in this issue, the true “stars” of the edition are birds whose importance for ecosystems and the preservation of a healthy environment is immeasurable, but which, after decades
of neglect, have almost disappeared from our region.
We hope that vultures, although they may not be regarded as “beauty kings”, will once again become the rulers of our skies in the years to come, thanks to the dedicated work of the Foundation for the Protection of Birds of Prey, as well as the support of all of us.
We wish you pleasant reading and enjoyable summer days.
