| Abstract | Macedonia passed another period of five years of stagnation in geothermal development. The largest greenhouse project in Gevgelia (22,5 ha) was abandoned and the organizational structure of the Bansko geothermal project destroyed. There were no investments in explorations and new projects development. However, several reconstructions and modernizations have been realized with foreign grants and their success gives hopes that some positive changes shall come during the coming years. Reasons for such a situation are discussed in the paper and necessary measures to remove the negative influencing factors. |
