Serbia is due to adopt a new energy strategy though the associated action plan for the sector is lagging somewhat behind. This indicates that they are still developing policy, legal and institutional frameworks and that relevant legislation is not adopted and/or fully aligned with the relevant Energy Community acquis. In the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, at the time of the assessment, the energy law was not yet Third Energy Package-compliant and a clear strategy for the whole sector, including measurable objectives, is not in place.
