Abstract
The paper aims at describing the current political challenges the Energy Community (EC) is currently living.
As a matter of fact, after the first period of operation several institutional and operative obstacles have been identified. Nevertheless, the real point the Energy Community will face is not only related to internal procedures but it is connected with external political dynamics that could potentially interfere with the EC future.
First of all, Ukraine is an EC full-fledged member and therefore is leading the Energy Community in an uncertain political scenario.
Furthermore, the EU project for the establishment of a European Energy Community is potentially creating a new platform for political alliances and energy relations with neighbor Countries: the possible role and competences of EC in this context is not yet defined
