The so-called “green” premium - a market entry subsidy for renewable energy sources - was used as a convenient explanation for recent increases to the electricity bills in 2012. However, as time went by, consumers realized that a substantial part of their bills has been determined by another expense - the ”bad governance premium”, which, together with the forthcoming parliamentary elections and the increase of energy consumption during the winter, led to the ascent of social discontent and a search for new culprits for the surge in prices.

The decision to decrease by 5% the retail electricity prices as of 1 August 2013 is among the topics at the heart of political debates in Bulgaria this autumn. A similar move in 2010 clearly showed that such a politically mandated price decrease was not sustainable in the long run. It ended in the sharp increase (13% y-o-y) of electricity prices in 2012, and subsequent social unrest, which brought down the Bulgarian government in February 2013. The focus on the final consumer bill reduction in the public debate overshadows some of the other structural effects of the decision, which are worth mentioning.

Da li je Haški tribunal doprineo pomirenju između naroda bivše Jugoslavije? O ovom pitanju svako u bivšoj Jugoslaviji ima svoje mišljenje. Uključujući, naravno, i premijera Aleksandra Vučića, koji je u nedavnoj emisiji na TV B92 (gostujući zajedno sa Natašom Kandić i Dejanom Anastasijevićem) izjavio da „Haški tribunal nije doprineo suštinskom pomirenju na ovim prostorima“. Možda je Vučić i u pravu – ali da bi na to pitanje mogli da malo temeljnije odgovorimo, prvo treba da imamo neku predstavu o tome kako bi jedan krivični sud i inače mogao da doprinese suštinskom pomirenju. Šta to zapravo uopšte znači?
