Renewable energy in the Western Balkans: Policies, developments and perspectives

The development of the energy sector is one of the most critical issues in the Western Balkans region. Due to the region’s high renewable energy sources (RES) potential, renewable energy is considered a promising method for building sustainable and resilient energy systems that offer attested and af...
