“I want to be very honest. The EU has not been firm enough in defending and strengthening the rule of law. We have lost a lot of our credibility, especially in member states where the rule of law is under pressure, and this is quite a heavy burden for the Council”, the German minister said at an event in Coimbra.
Serbia’s goal is to become an energy transit corridor like it already is for transportation, said Energy Minister Zorana Mihajlović on Monday at the signing of a funding agreement for the construction of a section of the Trans-Balkan Power Corridor.

“The Trans-Balkan Corridor is a regional project of strategic importance, which means stability on the electricity market not just in Serbia but also in the region, in Romania, Montenegro, Italy. The value of construction of that corridor in Serbia is €157 million, while the total length is 321 kilometers,” said Mihajlović.
