Serbia, USA sign agreement on strategic cooperation in energy

Belgrade/Washington, 18 September 2024

Minister of Foreign Affairs Marko Đurić and US Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment Jose W. Fernandez signed an agreement on strategic cooperation in the field of energy between Serbia and United States today in Washington.

After signing the document, Đurić said that by concluding the agreement, Serbia took an important step towards improving the partnership with the United States and ensuring long-term energy security.

The head of Serbian diplomacy explained that the document will facilitate green transition in Serbia and improve access to clean energy, which is in line with Serbia’s European aspirations.

He noted that the agreement also sends a strong message about Serbia's commitment to improving overall relations with the United States and that we are one step closer to a strategic partnership and strategic, good, long-term relations with the United States.

I believe that this is responsible and state-building behaviour and that both Serbian and American energy companies, but above all citizens of Serbia, will benefit from this agreement, which will result in a more reliable, safer and long-term stable supply in circumstances in which our industry and economy are developing day by day, Đurić said.

Fernandez assessed that the signing of this agreement will raise Serbian-US cooperation to a higher level, adding that the United States is satisfied with the fact that cooperation with Serbia in the field of clean energy will continue.

Climate change is the challenge of our time, but it is also an opportunity to invest in the energy of the future, and the first step was taken today, he emphasized.

Following the signing ceremony, Đurić and Fernandez held a bilateral meeting, at which they discussed various aspects of energy cooperation between Serbia and the United States.
