A region divided at the pump: Southeastern Europe’s growing fuel price gap

The latest comparisons of retail fuel prices reveal a clear divide across southeastern Europe, with Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia continuing to rank among the most affordable markets, while Serbia and Slovenia sit at the top of the regional scale, especially when it comes to diesel.

South-East Europe’s power reality: 2025 lessons and what 2026 will really look like

The story of South-East Europe’s electricity markets in 2025 is essentially a story of a region learning to navigate a world where stability cannot be assumed and where every structural weakness eventually becomes visible in price behavior. Across the region, 2025 continued the pattern that began after the European energy shock: markets did not collapse,

Nuclear confidence vs market fragility: What nuclear power really changes in South-East Europe’s energy future

If South-East Europe chooses nuclear as a central pillar of its energy future, the decision will not be about engineering alone. Nuclear would fundamentally alter the region’s energy psychology, its economic credibility, and the behavior of its electricity markets. The real intersection between nuclear and the market here is not technical — it is strategic

Nuclear power and South-East Europe: Between strategic necessity and market hesitation

In South-East Europe, energy strategy has never simply been a technical expression of infrastructure planning. It has always been deeply political, economically sensitive, geopolitically shaped and socially charged. Nuclear power sits right at the center of that tension. It promises long-term stability in a region burdened with volatility. It offers strategic independence in markets traditionally

South-East Europe’s next decade: Can the region finally move from vulnerability to real energy strength?

South-East Europe has spent most of the past three decades reacting to energy problems rather than shaping its own future. It has lived through power shortages, political dependency, pipeline crises, refinery uncertainties, hydrological shocks, volatile import bills, underinvestment, institutional hesitation and a constant feeling that stability was always one crisis away from disappearing. In 2025,

The price of delay: What happens if Serbia and the region move too slowly on energy modernization

Energy sectors rarely collapse suddenly. They decay gradually. Systems do not break overnight; they weaken, absorb shocks, survive another season, and quietly accumulate structural fatigue until one day the cost of catching up is far greater than the cost of acting earlier. In 2025, this is the most important risk facing Serbia and much of
