On Wednesday, 11 April 2018, a new project activity implemented in the framework of cooperation between UNDP and 29 municipalities that were selected in the Public Call for support to local self-government units to introduce the Energy Management System and the use of locally available biomass for energy generation was presented in the large hall of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia, Terazije 23.
The presentation was attended by 43 representatives of local self-governments (energy managers and agricultural officers), representatives of the Ministry of Mining and Energy, representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, as well as representatives of consulting firms contracted by the project.

Lastly, Dragan Urosevic presented results related to the implementation of activities set in the Public Call.
