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.

The research reveals the theoretical and practical aspects of the green energy sector. The article compares the level of development of the green energy sector in the European Union and Ukraine. Different indicators, including the share of energy from renewable sources in Ukraine, the interaction between the level of GDP per capita and the share of renewable energy in the EU and Ukraine, and the structure of the renewable energy resources of Ukraine and the EU are taken into account. The article discussed the role of financial and non-financial tools for the development of the green energy sector in the EU countries. The research states that the countries can be divided into three groups, where group A involves countries with a highly developed green energy sector, group B – member-states with progress in the transition to alternative sources of energy, and group C – countries with weak or no progress in the development of renewable energy sector. The research explains the impact of economic prosperity in developed countries on the renewable energy sector. It investigates that there is a very small positive correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable. In general, it demonstrates that there is no correlation between the economic condition of very developed countries and the level of their green energy efficiency. The article suggests policy-making changes for the stable development of green energy in both the EU and Ukraine. Revision of existing government's medium and long term plans and adapting them to current circumstances, the gradual reduction of subsidies and reform of energy pricing, the regulatory focus on energy efficiency, the attraction of private investments through the use of domestic and donor investments are determined as important actions for stable development of green energy sector.

This paper analyzes the development of the energy sector in the Republic of Serbia in the previous period, which has exhibited certain economic and non-economic disadvantages that are unacceptable in the long-term. Modern economic development raises a number of challenges to be addressed in order to ensure long-term sustainability of the energy sector as one of the key drivers of the national economy. These challenges are the result of numerous factors, the most influential being the role the energy sector plays in the development of the national economy, on the one hand, and growing use of non-renewable energy resources and environmental pollution caused by rapid and uncontrolled development of energy sector based on exploitation of the aforementioned group of resources, on the other hand. In addition, it is necessary to implement sustainable energy development in the Republic of Serbia to secure meeting of economic, environmental, social and other sustainable development goals. It is imperative that development of energy sector moves forwards the more intensive use of renewable energy sources and increase energy efficiency in order to meet the growing demand for energy products. Within the framework of the EU accession process, and in line with the harmonization requirements with the EU acquis pertaining to the energy sector, the Republic of Serbia has also committed to achieve sustainable development of its energy sector and systems. In order to be able to implement the above stated, it is necessary to diversify the offer of energy resources and to provide secure energy supply, i.e., the supply of final energy products to industry and households, at the same time respecting the objectives of a controlled reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The only possible long-term and sustainable concept of energy development is the concept designed in this manner.
