AB - The European Energy Law will have great impact on Serbia and its renewable  energy sector. The Energy Community is extending the European Union ("EU")  internal energy market to Southeast Europe and beyond on the ground of  legally binding treaty. Thus, Serbia, as a member of the Energy Community,  has been committed to implement the relevant EU regulations concerning the  energy sector step-by-step. Furthermore, the ability of Serbia to assume the  obligations of membership is evaluated on the basis of the implementation of  the EU Acquis. The energy sector† has been outlined by the European  Commission as one of the fields where Serbia will have to undertake  additional efforts to align with the acquis in the medium term. As the  European Council granted Serbia the candidate status in March 2012, the EU  will monitor the adoption of the EU Energy Acquis closely.
