Summary/Abstract: Energy crisis, reduced supplies of fossil fuels and enormous pollution of the planet caused many countries to turn to alternative sources of energy, especially renewable energy. To ensure energy security and economic competitiveness, and reduce negative impacts on the environment, the Republic of Serbia needs to make significant efforts towards the promotion and utilization of renewable energy and energy efficiency in all energy sectors. This paper tries to show the benefits of using renewable energy sources, in order to raise awareness about the importance of obtaining energy from these sources. This will improve the quality of the environment and reduce dependence on imported energy. This paper will also give an overview of the status and potential of renewable energy sources, a brief description of certain incentive measures with reference to international conventions, agreements and conditions of accession of the Republic of Serbia to the European Union related to the use of renewable energy sources.
