Serbian president Aleksandar Vucic said, during the speech at the Nuclear Energy Summit in Brussels, Belgium, that his country will change decades-old legislation banning the building of nuclear power plants.
In his speech to the International Atomic Energy Agency, at its first nuclear energy summit, Vucic said Serbia does not have much to offer when it comes to increasing the production of nuclear power but is willing to participate in future projects.
Vucic, however, pointed out that Serbia has “three problems”, one of which is a lack of know-how on the use of nuclear energy and the second is money.
“And number three … is we will always need to get a change of mindset in our people, which is not easy, but we are ready to do it, which means we will not only adjust but will have to change the overall legislative framework, and we will do it,” Vucic said.
Communist Yugoslavia banned construction of nuclear power plants in 1989 after the Chernobyl catastrophe.
