Popovic: Serbia might remove moratorium on nuclear energy research

Serbia might approve studies of the development of nuclear energy, the minister in charge on international economic cooperation at the Government of Serbia, Nenad Popovic, said in an interview for TASS.

– The moratorium still exists and we talked with Mr. [CEO of Rosatom Alexey] Likhachev and the management of [Rosatom] that when it would be lifted, if it would be so - and we expect such moratorium to be lifted, then Rosatom would be ready to provide the Serbian side with the potential Russia has in building large nuclear power plants and in construction of mini nuclear power plants – the minister said.

Serbia and Russia need to focus now on the potential of developing the peaceful nuclear energy segment, he added, as reported by TASS.
