The Energy Community and the Balkans: Interview with Mr Slavtcho Neykov

Summary/Abstract: The Energy Community Treaty was initiated by the European Union and entered into force in 2006 with the objective of supporting the countries that are EU candidates and potential candidates to implement the EU internal energy market legislative framework. Its long-term goal is to create a regulatory and market framework in these countries that will offer their populations more secure, reliable and affordable access to energy. Most of the Contracting Parties of the Energy Community Treaty, and one of its Observers, Turkey, are in Southeast Europe. This creates a special relationship between the Energy Community and the Balkans. The Energy Community officially celebrated at the end October 2011 its first 5 years of activity. In this context, Balkanalysis.com energy editor Vlad Popovici recently sought out the views of Mr. Slavtcho Neykov, Director of the Energy Community Secretariat since 2006.
