Joint civil society statement: As the latest fossil fuel crisis starts to bite, Western Balkan governments must avoid further gas addiction and leapfrog to a renewable future!

As a result, the EU has rightly identified that the solution to the crisis is to wean itself off of fossil fuels, and to push forward with electrification and renewables.
