In the sixth edition of “Energy Security Forum” we decided to look into policies, decisions, experiments, plans and visions of various countries and international organizations with the aim to assess efforts or progress, which countries or organizations make in order to lessen energy consumption in military sector, making fuel delivery and consumption cheaper, safer and more reliable or
improving the security of energy supply roads, storage facilities, etc. In this regard we were more than happy to welcome experts, specialists and scholars from various countries and institutions who kindly agreed to join our “community of interest” and to contribute with their experience, skills and attitude to the volume’s topic: “Saving energy costs – are we investing enough?”. Different experiences resulted into different answers, but all of them are worth of readers’ attention.
