On the occasion of the closing of the gas pipeline through Ukraine, by which Russian gas reaches European countries, the president of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, has stated that it will not affect the energy stability of Serbia.

He said for TV Pink that it was now apparent how important it was that the Balkan Stream pipeline had been built through Serbia three years before.

- Serbia has sufficient quantities of electrical energy – said Vučić and noted that it was achieved also thanks to the gas delivered through the Balkan Stream and used by facilities such as the thermal power-heating plants in Pančevo and Novi Sad.

He estimated that Ukraine’s closing of the flow of Russian gas would create problems for Slovakia, and in the long term, for Austria as well and said that Serbia would be a reliable supplier of gas for “the Slovak friends” through the TurkStream. From January 1, the delivery of Russian gas to other European countries through Ukraine is shut off.

The Ukrainian operator GTSOU has announced that the Russian-Ukrainian agreement from 2019 has expired and that the planned quantity of gas for delivery for January 1 is “zero cubic meters.”

Despite the war in Ukraine, the Russian state giant Gazprom was still supplying other countries of Europe, especially Slovakia, Moldova and Hungary, through the gas pipeline network in Ukraine.

Austria, Hungary and Slovakia are still very dependent on Russian gas.
