The program will be implemented by state authorities, local municipalities and legal entities founded by the state.

The money can be used for thermal insulation of buildings, modernization of heating and cooling systems inside them, installation of indoor lighting systems and for solar collectors and public lighting as well as for the training of employees and study designs, according to the Serbian government’s decision.

The projects will be financed by the budget fund for improving energy efficiency
