"From the very beginning, our vision was clear: to bring together business leaders and industry visionaries to shape the energy sustainability of the Balkans. Today, I see that we have succeeded," said Milena Mijatović, CEO of the Summit, at the opening of the third Balkan Solar Summit.

The summit hosts a large number of participants from 15 countries worldwide, who have gathered in Banja Luka to discuss crucial topics for the regional energy sector, such as CBAM, the green transition, and the exchange of experiences related to large energy projects.

Stability and security of the energy system in transition conditions are also key discussion points.

"The Republic of Srpska currently has an advantage over the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, primarily in terms of regulatory frameworks and laws. One of the major challenges is CBAM, which could burden our economic entities. We are aware of this issue and are working with the governments of the Republic of Srpska and the Federation of BiH on solutions. There is already an initiative in the European Parliament to postpone CBAM until 2027," emphasized Staša Košarac, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations.

Key figures from the energy sector are attending the Balkan Solar Summit, aiming to foster connections and potential agreements on future investments. During the Balkan Solar Summit, Banja Luka transforms into the business center of the region!
