Mr. Mirsad Salkić, a member of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, was elected   President of the Energy Community Regulatory Board (ECRB) on March 10, 2010 in Athens.

The Board has an important role in the functioning of energy markets. Inter alia, it considers the issues of regulatory cooperation, resolves possible disputes in cross-border trade and may become a supranational body issuing decisions of regional importance.

The Regulatory Board was established by the signing of the Treaty Establishing the Energy Community in October 2005 whereby markets of South-East Europe have also become an integral part of the European Union internal energy market. Besides the representative of the European Commission in the capacity of the Vice-President, the Board comprises representatives of national regulatory authorities in the region and fourteen countries of the European Union.

The new President of the Regulatory Board announced the continuation of coordinated approach to the development of a stable regulatory framework and a market area ensuring necessary investments and security of supply to electricity and natural gas customers.
