The European Commission has launched the Secretariat of a new initiative to help coal regions in the Western Balkans and Ukraine transition away from coal towards a carbon-neutral economy. According to the Commission, mirroring the successful EU Initiative for coal regions in transition,

the newly established secretariat will deliver support to coal regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine.

The Commission said 17 regions with significant coal mining activities and coal-based energy production will be the key beneficiaries.
