At the edge of the hydrogen era: Serbia between strategic promise and regulatory reality

Across Europe, the green hydrogen transition is no longer a distant concept but a clear strategic pathway for decarbonising energy systems, heavy industry and transport. Germany’s energy transition strategy explicitly recognises that long-term climate neutrality will rely on imported renewable hydrogen and its derivatives. The European Union has already built a regulatory and policy architecture […]

Between Moscow, Brussels and the barrel: Serbia’s oil politics laid bare

Serbia’s oil sector in 2025 lives inside one of the most geopolitically sensitive energy architectures in Europe. Unlike electricity, which Serbia partially controls through domestic generation, or gas, which is structurally and visibly linked to pipeline geopolitics, oil exists in a quieter but more complex zone: a place where the ownership of core national infrastructure

Oil as quiet leverage: Why Serbia’s refining system is both a national security pillar and a financial anchor investors must grasp

In Serbia’s energy debate, electricity usually absorbs attention. Gas dominates geopolitical discourse. Oil, meanwhile, runs the country quietly, relentlessly, with far greater financial significance than public conversation implies. In 2025, oil in Serbia is not simply a commodity. It is an economic baseline, a macro-stability factor, a logistics enabler, a fiscal policy influencer and, most

Between flows and power: How Serbia’s 2025 gas reality navigates dependence, negotiation and a shifting energy map

Natural gas occupies a very particular place in Serbia’s 2025 energy story. It is neither as emotionally charged as electricity, nor as geopolitically visible to the public as oil. Yet gas quietly underpins a significant portion of Serbia’s industrial capacity, urban heating stability, energy security narrative, and regional strategic positioning. In a world reshaped by

Beyond supply and sanctions: How Serbia’s 2025 oil predicament lays bare reliance, bargaining power and the hidden politics of energy

Oil rarely dominates Serbia’s public debate in the way electricity does. Power outages, hydropower droughts, EPS controversies and regional electricity prices tend to attract louder attention. Yet oil quietly sits at the core of Serbia’s economic security, industrial continuity and transport reality. In 2025, the story of oil in Serbia is less dramatic on the

Serbia industrial electricity pricing outlook 2025–2026: Costs, risks, structures and competitive reality

Industrial electricity pricing has become one of the decisive economic variables shaping Serbia’s industrial strategy, competitiveness positioning, and investment prospects. As the country advances through 2025, industrial electricity tariffs are not just a technical regulatory issue; they are now deeply intertwined with fiscal policy, energy market architecture, industrial productivity, inflationary risk, and ultimately Serbia’s credibility

Hydrogen highways: Could Serbia emerge as a key hub in Europe’s future energy network?

For most of modern history, power came from what countries could extract. In the future, power will come from what countries can connect, convert and stabilize. Europe is moving rapidly from a fossil-based energy logic to a decarbonized industrial model — and this shift is not philosophical. It is strategic, financial, infrastructural and geopolitical. It

Serbia: Fuel supply highly dependent on Pančevo refinery amid sanctions on NIS

According to the latest IMF country report, Serbia’s fuel supply remains heavily reliant on the Pančevo oil refinery, which meets roughly four-fifths of domestic demand. The report notes that replacing NIS’s distribution network with imported fuels would face significant logistical challenges, particularly the lack of oil pipelines connecting Serbia to refineries in neighboring countries. The

Serbian energy authorities have confirmed that ongoing discussions are underway regarding a potential change in ownership at oil company NIS, as efforts continue to resolve US-imposed sanctions on the company. According to the Ministry of Energy, the talks involve Russian majority shareholders and Hungary’s MOL, which is being considered as a potential buyer of the

Serbia: EPS sets new annual coal production record at Drmno mine, Tamnava also hits full-year target

Since the beginning of the year, cumulative output at the site reached 10 million tons, marking the highest annual production in the mine’s history. The previous record stood at just under 9.908 million tons. Strong
