There were some changes over time and these<br />

are mostly reflected in the reduction of use of solid<br />

fuels and electricity while the use of central heating,<br />

gas and liquid fuels increased. Changes in the use of<br />

heating types mostly occurred in households living<br />

above the poverty line. According to the <strong>2007</strong> data<br />

the majority of poor households (around 86 percent)<br />

use solid fuels for heating (Graph 1).<br />

Belgrade is the region with the greatest share<br />

(44 percent) of households whose dwellings are<br />

heated by central heating (Table 3). Compared to<br />

<strong>2002</strong>, the proportion of households heated in this<br />

way increased by around 16 percentage points<br />

which can be explained, among other things, by a<br />

large number of newly built residential dwellings<br />

using this system of heating. There is also an<br />

increase in the number of households using gas as<br />

their source of heating in <strong>2007</strong>. There is a decrease<br />

in the number of Belgrade households using<br />

electricity and solid fuel for heating compared to<br />

<strong>2002</strong>.<br />
