At the opening of second energy summit at Neum, Director of USAID in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Peter Duffy said that energy sector in BiH has a huge potential to dobule production and therefore create lot of new jobs. However, the country lacks a consensus in order to carry out reforms and capitalize this potential.
Duffy pointed out that certain things are already achieved since the last year’s summit, such as the adoption of action plan for renewable energy sources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, harmonization with the EU directives and creation of positive environment for foreign investments.
