OSCE Mission Energy security is vital for the sustainable economic development and stability of a country. The inability to access energy resources causes serious economic disturbances and political instability. In conditions of a global economy, disturbances easily spread, precisely why it is of crucial importance to ensure energy resources on a lasting basis and to invest efforts to reduce so-called energy poverty which affects transition and third world countries the most. The problem can be resolved with the introduction of alternative, i.e. renewable energy sources. This would largely mitigate the problem, and would produce the positive effect of assisting local economic development and the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases. However, what is needed for a successful solution is awareness about the existence of the problem, political will and the ability to implement the solution. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) rallies 56 countries and, within its mandate in Serbia, since 2001 it has had the task of promoting and assisting the country’s comprehensive development, its full democratization and economic sustainability. This is to enable partnership relations with neighboring countries and the country’s efficient inclusion in processes of integration, with the implementation of the principle of sustainable development in the broadest sense of the word.
