Bill on Removal of Moratorium on Construction of Nuclear Power Plants in Serbia Submitted

The member of the Serbian Progressive Party Zoran Dragisic has submitted to the National Assembly of Serbia the bill on the removal of the Law on the Ban on the Construction of Nuclear Power Plants in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Dragisic, as reported by the Danas daily web portal, said that Serbia had initially inherited the law from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and then from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and estimated that, for Serbia, “it is preventing the development of nuclear energy, which is the biggest thing in energy now.”

– All developed countries develop nuclear capacities. This law prevents us from even having a discussion about nuclear energy – he said and added that he believed that nuclear power plants should be built, but that the removal of the law would primarily enable a discussion about that topic.

According to him, that law from the era of the SFR Yugoslavia has already been removed by Slovenia and Croatia, and the ban not only hampers the development of nuclear energy, but also scientific research and dialogue about that subject.

When asked whether the bill had anything to do with the visit of the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, to France, where the field of nuclear energy had been one of the main topics, he said that it was related and that he had spoken to Vucic about that subject.

– I expect this bill to be on the agenda of the National Assembly of Serbia at the first session after the forming of the government. I expect the parliamentary group “Aleksandar Vucic-Srbija ne sme da stane” to support the bill, but also a great number of other MPs, because this is not a political, but a strategic topic – said Dragisic.
