The memorandum of understanding in the field of application of nuclear energy development in Serbia was signed on Wednesday between five ministries and 20 scientific and academic institutions and institutes, the government of Serbia announced.
The memorandum was signed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the Ministry of Mining and Energy, the Ministry of Science, Technological Development, and Innovation, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education with Elektroprivreda Srbije, Elektromreža Srbije, the Institute of Nuclear Sciences Vinča, the Serbian Nuclear Society, the Directorate for Radiation and Nuclear Safety and Security of Serbia, and faculties of economic, medical, and technical sciences.
Prime Minister Miloš Vučević pointed out after signing the Memorandum that this corrects a mistake made in the 1980s when the state banned the production of nuclear energy.
No one has any doubts that the issue of electricity will be dominant and strategic, as well as that investment in this area will be a matter of the sovereignty and independence of a country, Vučević said.
