The paper investigates the role of the renewable cooperation mechanisms of the Renewable Energy Directive for the West Balkan countries and assesses possible win-win constellations for buyer and seller countries. It concludes that the role of cooperation mechanisms in the West Balkans is not a large scale application of the mechanism, but a way to initiate pilot projects on cooperation. Therefore, the focus of cooperation mechanisms could be to earlier expand those technologies for which there are budgetary caps in the support systems or which cannot be integrated into the grid in the short term.
