Northern Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister and Environmental and Field Planning Minister Izet Mexhiti said in his opening speech that the forum has become the focus of the regional dialogue for the future of energy.
“Mexhiti not only talks about energy, but also mentioned the vision they want to build for countries, citizens and the planet,” Mexhiti said, “We have a choice at a time when global geopolitical, economic and climatic turmoil is experienced; Either we will continue to adapt to crises or we will take responsibility for shaping the future.” he said.
Mexhiti emphasized that the Western Balkans have the opportunity to become a leader not only in the energy and climate transformation of the Western Balkans today.
The forum will end tomorrow with various sessions, including the energy future of the Western Balkans.
