Serbia's Nuclear Revival: Policy, Partnerships and Roadmap

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the Republic of Serbia's decision to revive its civilian nuclear program after three and a half decades of moratorium. The study covers the country's energy trilemma (security of supply, economic competitiveness, carbon emission reduction), the 2024 legislative restructuring that lifted the 35-year ban, and the development of program infrastructure in accordance with the IAEA's phased approach. Particular attention is given to the technological choice in favor of small modular reactors (SMRs) and 1200 MW reactors, the international partnership landscape involving France, Russia, and South Korea, and the financial modeling of the €8 billion program. The report contains strategic recommendations for overcoming regulatory institutionalization risks and achieving public consensus.
