Last week, former Prime Minister Miloš Vučević held a meeting with Alexey Likhachev, the Director General of Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom, to discuss potential collaboration in various sectors, including energy, healthcare and more. Vučević emphasized the opportunities for joint initiatives in nuclear medicine, particularly in improving radiotherapy and diagnostic technologies for oncology and cardiology, as well as modernizing Serbia’s healthcare system.
Recognizing the growing energy and population demands, Vučević stressed the importance of nuclear energy in enhancing Serbia’s energy security. Likhachev highlighted Rosatom’s key role in the global nuclear industry and expressed the corporation’s readiness to support the development of future projects in Serbia.
In November, the Serbian Parliament passed amendments to the Law on Energy, lifting the long-standing moratorium on nuclear energy. This effectively removes the ban on constructing nuclear power plants, which had been in place since 1989 following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
