Abstract

IN ENGLISH: Increases in energy prices pose a significant problem for many families in the Western Balkan region. Energy vulnerable groups in the region are facing adverse impacts on physical and mental health and they are unable to meet their basic needs. It is of utmost importance to find policy solutions which will enable easing of burden for affected households. This chapter examines the policy context and discusses the results of case study analyses undertaken in Balkan countries, with the aim of identifying possible policy solutions to cost effectively tackle energy poverty in the region. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Povećanje cijena energije predstavlja značajan problem za mnoge obitelji na zapadnom Balkanu. Energetske ranjive skupine u regiji suočene su s nepovoljnim utjecajima na tjelesno i mentalno zdravlje i ne mogu zadovoljiti svoje osnovne potrebe. Vrlo je važno pronaći rješenja koja će omogućiti ublažavanje tereta za pogođena kućanstva. Ovo poglavlje ispituje kontekst politika i raspravlja o rezultatima analize studija slučaja u balkanskim zemljama s ciljem identificiranja mogućih političkih rješenja za učinkovito rješavanje energetskog siromaštva u regiji.
