The Director of the Energy Regulatory Commission, Marko Bislimovski said at a press conference that in the next period he will meet with NGOs and the Government in order to find a solution for vulnerable categories of citizens who would use additional funds for protection against energy poverty.
"We as ERC are of the opinion that the number of vulnerable categories of consumers who should receive certain assistance for social protection for energy poverty should be increased and all those consumers should be found, usually as before, these will be the social cases they receive. Assistance will also be provided to citizens who have problems due to the impending crisis. "We also insist that it applies only to consumers who have problems, but in reality those consumers who do not have problems, we believe that there is no need to provide additional assistance from social protection for energy poverty," said Bislimovski
