Description

Cooperation in the energy sector is one of the European Union’s key priorities in its relationships with neighbouring states. Although the strategic documents and polices suggest that the promotion of energy efficiency, energy savings and the use of renewable energy sources should be the primary areas of cooperation along with “energy security”1, it is the latter that receives the lion’s share of attention from the EU side. In several cases “energy security” also receives a disproportionally large amount of financial support both directly from the European Commission, through the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) and from the international financial institutions (IFIs), namely the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Bank (EIB).
