Abstract

Energy Policy of the Republic of Serbia and Russia is entirely based on the principles of sustainable development and the Kyoto Protocol. This paper reviews in details the characteristics of energy policy in Serbia and Russia and provides examples of certain kinds of energy. Serbia and Russia are rich in renewable energy resources. The explorations of mineral and thermal mineral water sources carried out in Serbia have shown high quality mineral waters that can be used for medical purposes. Mineral and thermal mineral sources in health resorts, in Serbia, represent natural resources with large possibilities for the development of tourism, health tourism, agriculture and other economic activities. Special attention should be directed to the needed multidisciplinary research projects for the purpose of the relevant criteria necessary for usage of every thermal mineral water. Intensive exploitation of the renewable resources must become one of the important aims of economic development in Serbia.
