3. UPDATE ON SERBIA’S ENERGY STRATEGY
The energy balance of the Republic of Serbia for 2011 contains data about the annual production, stocks, imports, exports, transformation and consumption of electricity, heat power, coal, oil and oil derivatives, natural gas, geothermal energy and firewood.
The balance does not entirely present the use of renewable energy sources.
Within the activities of the Energy Community in the area of renewable energy sources and due to the lack of reliable information, research on biomass consumption was conducted for all Contracting Parties to the Treaty Establishing Energy Community, for periods 2009 and 2010, based on which results the targets in the area of renewable energy sources were defined for each Contracting Party to the Treaty.
Based on this research, projections for biomass consumption are made for the needs of the new Energy Sector Development Strategy of the Republic of Serbia, but also for the needs of the preparation of the new energy balance.

4. UPDATE ON SERBIA’S ENERGY FIGURES
Production of primary energy includes exploitation and/or use of domestic resources of coal, crude oil, natural gas and renewable energy sources (hydro-potential, geothermal energy and biomass).
In Serbia in 2011, Mtoe of primary energy was produced (70% of the total primary energy needs).
Structure of the domestic primary energy :
- production of coal makes Mtoe
- remaining portion : production of crude oil, hydro-potential, firewood and natural gas.
The total consumption of primary energy in 2011 was Mtoe.
Serbia’s import dependence in %.
2011 import: - crude oil and oil derivatives - 52%,
- natural gas - 24%
- coal - 14%.
