The study analyzes the challenges faced by the Balkan region from an energy perspective and describes the struggle of different actors in the energy field, manifested especially through the emergence of new transport networks. The various interconnections built between the states in the region bring hope that this area will be fully integrated into the European gas network in the coming years. The complicated history of the Balkans and the relationship with Russia, still a very present actor in the region, especially from an energy point of view, creates a complex context. The study also takes into account the places that Serbia and Romania occupy in the European energy architecture, the bilateral cooperation possibilities, the degree of dependence on gas from Russia.<\/p>\n
The study provides an opportunity to reflect on the systemic changes currently underway in the energy field and their deep geopolitical implications. The Black Sea has acquired a new regional importance, not only because of the security context created by the war in Ukraine, but also because of the change that may take place following gas discoveries in Romania\u2019s exclusive economic zone, something that could turn the country into an important regional exporter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe wider Balkan region at the crossroads of a new regional energy matrix\u201d emphasizes the importance of cooperation between regional states in their efforts to break away from Russia\u2019s energy dependence and resource diversification. In these troubled times, states\u2019 ability to secure their energy supplies will be determined by their ability to collaborate and balance short-term needs with long-term goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
